Le Guess Who?
The international music festival Le Guess Who? returns to Utrecht from November 6-9. Museum Speelklok is also one of the venues! On Friday, November 7, three artists will take to the stage in the museum's Nave.
Every November, Le Guess Who? takes over the entire city of Utrecht, with over 150 artists performing in pop venues, theaters, churches, clubs and more. The festival exists to promote sounds that are often overlooked, and to platform fresh perspectives on what is possible in music.
Tickets are available via leguesswho.com/tickets. This ticket also allows you to explore the rest of the museum on November 7 until 5pm. And the other way around: your admission ticket to Museum Speelklok also grants you access to the performances in the museum.
The line-up at Museum Speelklok
BHAJAN BHOY performing Summer In St Mary’s (15.30 – 16.30)
Multi-instrumentalist, guitarist and composer BHAJAN BHOY crafts psychedelic soundscapes. This year he returns for a unique and exclusive performance on the grand organ of Museum Speelklok. He will present his new work Summer In St. Mary’s, a double album of deeply meditative, minimalist compositions, recorded on the 19th century church organ at St. Mary’s Church (South Cowton, England).
Tomo Katsurada (17.45 – 18.45)
Tomo Katsurada, known for his work with the Japanese psychedelic band Kikagaku Moyo. Weaving music and visual storytelling, this solo project reflects his dreams and the numerous rebirths experienced in recent years. His harmonious dialogue of subdued vocals, cello and electric guitar offer listeners a broad soundscape filled with playfulness and spirituality.
Quinie (19.45 – 20.30)
Quinie’s latest album Forefowk, Mind Me – a collection of traditional songs, reworkings and original pieces – draws from Scottish, Irish and Gaelic sources. Using her voice as a pipe-like instrument, Quinie links folk and DIY traditions, combining care for the past with curiosity about the future, and explores connections between people, animals, ancestors and land.
