Marike van Dijk presents her new composition Thús, commissioned by BIMHUIS Productions. In her BIMHUIS Composition Assignment 2026 she reflects on her Frisian roots, focusing on the language and the human voice. For this occasion she formed a sextet featuring, alongside herself, members from the various places she calls home. The lyrics will be sung by band members plus a choir led by Sanne Huijbregts.
Dutch saxophonist/composer/arranger Marike van Dijk has divided her time working and living between The United States, Australia and the Netherlands over recent years. Since 2010 she has released several albums for which she composed herself and finished a PhD in composition in Brisbane, Australia. For her ensemble The Stereography Project she arranged work by, among others, The Beatles and songwriters Jeff Taylor and Katell Keineg. As a saxophonist she performed in big bands such as European Jazz Orchestra, Jazzorchestra of the Concertgebouw and New Cool Collective Bigband.
‘Marike van Dijk’s writing has an organic quality; balanced and seems to find ratios and combinations that are based in nature. I find her music very intuitive and feel that she has great honesty. This record will be just another step in a long career of composing.’ (Gil Goldstein, pianist en arrangeur).

COMING UP: Patricia Brennan Septet
Patricia Brennan has been voted by critics as best vibraphonist in jazz, and she’s equally admired as a composer. Her septet sounds like a full orchestra, not only because of her layered music, but also because of the qualities of the band members, all noted players in improvised music. Their album Breaking Stretch was voted album of the year by the authoritative magazine Downbeat. With this group Brennan aims to defy expectations and challenge the musicians to push their boundaries.
Patricia Brennan, born in Mexico and established in Brooklyn, has previously performed on our stage in the bands of Mary Halvorson and Ben Wendel. She grew up playing piano and percussion, and by the age of fifteen she was studying advanced compositional mechanics. On the album Breaking Stretch she pays tribute to some of her favourite bands growing up, from salsa bands such as Fania All-Stars to wind and brass rock groups like Earth Wind & Fire en Blood, Sweat & Tears.
‘Even though there’s a lot going on, the music never seems busy or cluttered. Instead, the interaction somehow spotlights the individual genius of each player, a feat that makes this album feel unusually magical. *****’ (Downbeat on Breaking Stretch).

Emile Parisien continues to explore new roads. As a saxophonist he has collaborated with American jazz greats such as trumpeter Theo Croker, but also with the world famous techno DJ Jeff Mills. In his current band he opens up to influences from Indian music, with the help of tabla player Prabhu Edouard. This versatile musicians has regularly crossed the boundaries of tradition in projects with the likes of Joachim Kühn and Jordi Savall.
Emile Parisien is regarded as one of the most important protagonists of contemporary jazz, in his home country France, and far abroad. At a young age, the soprano saxophonist applied at the jazz school in Marciac, home of the world famous festival Jazz in Marciac. There he learned from some of the greatest, including Wynton Marsalis, who guests on his album Sfumato Live.

Over the past twenty years, Ablaye Cissoko has become one of the most highly regarded players of the kora, the West African double harp. He also sings, entirely in the tradition of the ‘griots’ or storytellers from whom he descends. In 2023, he began a remarkable collaboration with French accordionist Cyrille Brotto with the album Instant. ‘A gem’, according to Songlines Magazine. ‘The accordion adds a melancholic, almost Celtic undertone to Cissoko’s elegant arpeggios.’
Now the duo presents the album Djiyo, which means ‘water’ and sounds exactly like that: a connecting stream. A beautiful blend of kora, voice and accordion.
Senegal-born Ablaye Cissoko previously formed a surprising duo with trumpeter Volker Goetze, with whom he made three albums. He has also collaborated with Randy Weston, Eric Bibb and the Constantinople Ensemble, among others. Cyrille Brotto specializes in the diatonic accordion and has been a familiar face in French folk music for years. As a duo, they forge the link between southern French folk and the Mandingo tradition from West Africa.

Norwegian jazz trio Maridalen is named after the scenic valley just north of central Oslo, and consequently draws inspiration from nature. The transparent, playful and warm sound has developed through the interaction of trumpet, saxophone and double bass. The trio explores how these three melodic voices can complement one another both harmonically and percussively.
Maridalen has built a solid reputation on the basis of the eponymous debut album from 2021and its follow-up Bortenfor (2022). Both albums were recorded in a wooden church in Maridalen. The three musicians spread their wings for the third album Gressholmen (2024), which was made on the island of the same name. They continue to confirm their reputation with their live performances, which also receive praise in the international press.
