Katrien

The American singer-songwriter Janis Ian became well-known with her records in the seventies and eighties. 'At Seventeen' and 'Fly too High' are world-famous songs that recently surfaced in the Top 2000. Singer Katrien Verheijden was gripped by the poetic lyrics and the music of Ian with whom she knows how to describe feelings like no other. She releases an album entitled ECHO'S IN MY HEAD, with a special selection from the extensive repertoire of Janis Ian. Mostly translated into Dutch, but also with two English-speaking duets with Janis Ian himself and the release of a never-before-released song titled 'Summer in New York'. The duets were chosen for the beautiful Throught the Years from the album Breaking Silence (1993) and the song I'm still standing by Ian's latest album Strictly Solo (2014).

When it comes to modern music from the 20th-century repertoire to scores on which the ink is barely dry , Het Collectief is one of the finest European ensembles. With their sixth disc for Outhere and their first on the Zig-Zag Territoires label, the ensemble returns to the roots of the modern repertoire, interpreting Weberns Passacaglia and, with soprano Katrien Baert, Bergs Sieben frühe Lieder, Zemlinskys Maeterlinck Gesänge.
