Jozef Van Wissem Concert

Special events at Transilvania IFF will also include concerts in several churches in Cluj. On June 6,  Jozef van Wissem, Dutch musician and composer living in New York, frequent collaborator of Jim Jarmusch, will perform songs composed for the original score of the Only Lovers Left Alive film, which earned him the Cannes Soundtrack Award 2016. Van Wissem is “equally an avant-garde composer and a baroque lute musician, and therefore nothing short of contradictions”, writes The New York Times. He has held over 800 solo lute concerts all over the world, has recorded or sung live with Jarmusch, Tilda Swinton or Zola Jesus, and his hypnotic and poetic music has propelled him in line with some of the most valuable contemporary musicians.
