Christiaan De Jong is a very interesting dutch musician that lives in Barcelona, Spain. We have an ensemble which is a variation of his BARCELONA NOVA ORCHESTRA, a band that mainly plays his compositions: excellent and original (which is not easy !! ) contemporary music. We have played in the famous contemporary music festival in Valencia-Spain, called ENSEMS, in 2000. The theme of this year was "Bach and Cuba". For that Christiaan has composed a piece, A TOUCH OF BACH, based on two parts, Preludio y Fuga. We also recorded a CD of duets, trios and quatuors for the PYXOS label.
