Uitreiking cultuurprijs + concerten DJ Maestro + Rik Mol

19-12 15:00uur Rik Mol uitreiking cultuurprijs gemeente Goes podium 't Beest Goes

Een origineel juryrapport schrijven over Rik Mol is een niet eenvoudig. Rik Mol is op jonge leeftijd al doorgebroken als jazz trompettist en is in zijn genre zowel nationaal als internationaal bekend. Het aantal hits op Google op zijn naam is nu al enorm en zal gezien zijn grote talent alleen maar toenemen. Hij heeft al vele bekende prijzen op zijn naam staan o.a. Yamaha Trumpet Jazz Award, het Prinses Cristina Concours en European Trumpet Contest.

Zijn eerste cd `What's on Tonight' was gelijk een daverend succes en is buitengemeen goed ontvangen. Gerenommeerde recensenten spreken van een toptalent. Buiten het spelen met verscheidene toonaangevende muzikanten is hij erin geslaagd een groep om hem heen te bouwen, met hoog aangeschreven Nederlandse jazz artiesten.
Zijn muziek kenmerkt zich door de veelzijdigheid en het toepassen van cross-overs met hip hop, house, funk etc. Dit wordt door velen, jong en oud gewaardeerd. Door zijn muziek levert hij een belangrijke bijdrage aan het culturele klimaat.

Rik Mol zal een kort concert geven met zijn band in 't Beest na afloop van het officiële gedeelte.

Stimuleringsprijs of the Prins Bernard Cultuurfonds

Bernhard Cultuurfonds

On Thursday the 2nd of October 2008 Rik Mol received the Stimuleringsprijs of the Prins Bernard Cultuurfonds from the Commissaris van de Koningin Karla Peijs.
In Porgy en Bess Jazz Club in Terneuzen, in the south west part of the Netherlands, filled with bigwigs and jazz fans, he received a cheque of 10,000 euro and a beautiful work of art by Paul and Menno De Nooijer. Rik Mol will use the money to produce his second album. "When I heard the message that I would receive this price, I needed money for my second album, becauce I had a budget deficit" he explained. Rik Mol receives this award beause he delivers a contribution to the renewal of jazz, by mixing them with influences from pop, hip hop, funk and dance he creates a sound that is very attractive for a young audience. The music at the perfomance was jazz. After all those South American rhythms it is good to play jazz again, he refered to his tour with the Nueva Manteca along South America last month.
