About UnTwelve: The dimension of pitch in music remains largely tied to a standardized set of 12 notes. This is akin to a painter being stuck with only 12 standard colors. UnTwelve is dedicated to exploring the current and historical frontiers of music beyond the 12-equal note tuning system. Our mission and vision is to commission and perform musical works which display the excitement and beauty of this frontier to both audiences and musicians.
Founded by multi-keyboard artist and composer Aaron Krister Johnson UnTwelve presents exciting concerts of music by composers around the world and presents musical education programs that highlight the wide-open expressive possibilities of such systems, and to promote and foster their usage by the current and next generation of musicians and composers.

Under the bridge, where Iris van der Ende sits with her harp, the room works like a resonance chamber. All stays hanging before it dissolves: music, sounds, thoughts. Iris lets you listen to the sound in a lost place in the city, and answers these with arpeggios, chords and melodies. Thus she plays her harp and the space.
