This year, 2022-2023, marks 20 years of adventure with artists, writers and other musicians under the flag of Stichting Facetten . A weekend of performances amid artworks inspired by literature and other artists culminated in the presentation of the CD and book cataloguing the exhibition and stories from artists aged 11-82 of how they found inspiration. Here’s the mention in Rochester Review, published by my alma mater Eastman School of Music/U of R.

Meliora Weekend
October 5 to 8, 2023 Composer and violist Julia Barnes has released Het Stromende Getij & De Winterdichter (Facetten van de kunst [Facets of the Arts]). “This CD is part of a collective project celebrating 20 years of interdisciplinary inspiration,” she writes. “Most of the works were created during the lockdown periods in 2020 and 2021. We presented works by a young poet, composer, and a graphic artist along with these performances and recordings.” Julia cofounded Facetten van de kunst as a cultural organization 20 years ago. “I concentrated in my career on orchestral and chamber music performance. I’ve been living and working in the Amsterdam area for 40 years and so am connected to Dutch culture, artists, and literature.”
