about

"We take you to the musical south where we dance, sing and dream together in the evening light."
(Femke IJlstra and Celia García-García)

Saxophonist Femke IJlstra and pianist Celia García-García met during a performance of Shostakovich's Jazz Suite No. 2 in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw. Soon the ladies decided to form a duo and focus on repertoire and arrangements for this line-up. IJlstra is one of the most successful classical saxophonists of her generation and has played all over the world. She is founder of the Syrène Saxophone Quartet and works as a principal study teacher at the Prins Claus Conservatory in Groningen. García-García is a much sought-after pianist and associated with the Utrecht Conservatory and the Tilburg Fontys as a teacher and choir rehearsal. She regularly performs with renowned Dutch symphony orchestras.

After several successful performances, the duo decided to make an album for the adventurous TRPTK. They opted for warm-blooded repertoire with a distinctly Southern European and South American touch. Under the motto 'Colores del Sur' they play music by Isaac Albéniz, Paul Maurice, Manuel de Falla, Heitor Villa-Lobos and Jean Françaix, among others. Composers who are known to have been open to exotic influences. The production also includes curiosities by Maurice Ravel, Darius Milhaud and Kurt Weill.

IJlstra and García-García know how to give an authentic voice to this temperamental music - in which cheerfulness and melancholy go hand in hand. They play with a looseness and open-mindedness that is unprecedented. "We want to tell a real story and play from our feelings, we want to be ourselves," say the musicians. The results are worth it, with passionate performances that sometimes have an exciting frayed edge.
