Space is the Place: 60th birthday Ab Baars!

Saturday, November 21, 20:30

It’s hard to find a musician who can play in the moment as intensely as Ab Baars. He is a genuine musician, who always steers away from the cliché, challenging himself (and his audience) in the search for new sounds and interactions. Sometimes his sound is beautiful, sometimes it’s ferocious, but it’s always honest, coming from a man with an exceptional focus and fascinating, creative mind.

De Ruimte is proud to be the host of the 60-year birthday celebration of this inspiring man and musician. Ab curates his own party with fantastic musicians and poetess Anneke Brassinga. For this special evening John Pastinaak presents a special menu with the Mediterranean food Ab likes to eat. Think of pumpkin with buffalo mozzarella, roasted season vegetables with walnut pesto, beet salad with almonds and much more…
