Postcards from tomorrow€124.99
During their childhood, some people have the tradition to put their toys, drawings and wishes for the future into a timebox that they bury somewhere to dig up when they are adults. This has inspired Gauthier Dupertuis for the title of this work: Postcards from tomorrow. What wishes would we put in those boxes for the future; what kind of postcards would we send to our grandchildren?
To compose this work, Gauthier Dupertuis was also inspired by three pictures that have some symbolic meaning linked to the question above and that give the names to the three movements that make up this piece.
The first movement, Abandoned Blockhouses, refers to war and other horrors in the history of humanity, while Pagoda at the Lake, the second movement, was inspired by the pagoda, a religious building whose function is to house the relics of holy people in Asian worship. The third and last movement, Building Bridges, is a call for hope.
In July 2021, Postcards from Tomorrow was awarded the first prize at the “La Bacchetta d’Oro” international composition contest in Italy.

The Groove Makers€144.99
The idea behind The Groove Makers is that all musicians, regardless of training or musical taste, can play together if they all keep the same ‘groove’. This inspired Peter Kleine Schaars to write a piece everyone would enjoy and to give the concert band a trendy ‘groove’ that the audience can really connect with.
