On December 3rd 2018, Rotterdam welcomes John Cale, one of the most widely respected and influential rock stars on the planet. Cale's musical track record includes over 20 solo albums, spanning various genres from avant-garde to pop and electronica.
From the Velvet Underground to the Stooges
The distinctive, droning violin sound of John Cale made the legendary The Velvet Underground a distinctive and groundbreaking collective in the sixties. It has since been copied often, but Cale continues to push boundaries restlessly.
Over the years, the stubborn musician known as Cale applied his classically trained knowledge and skills to propel acts like The Stooges, Patti Smith, Modern Lovers and Happy Mondays to a higher level. He has worked with great composers such as LaMonte Young, John Cage, Terry Riley and Brian Eno.
This concert is brought to you buy Rotown, Motel Mozaique Concerts and Theater Rotterdam.
