Corrie van Binsbergen received a composition commission from Het Bimhuis, the cultural temple in Amsterdam, NL.
The result is called "What The World Needs Now" and it will premiere at Het Bimhuis on November.
Poetic lines, sentences from interviews with artists and film dialogues form the libretto on which Corrie van Binsbergen bases her composition for a unique septet. The line-up features versatile musicians with whom Van Binsbergen has not worked before. Van Binsbergen herself controls the text samples on stage. She may also pick up the guitar.
In her recent newsletter, Corrie mentioned that at least one of the quotes is by Frank Zappa:
'The biggest problem facing the world today is mental health. If everybody had good mental health then all the other problems would be solved.'
