Silophone Session

Join us on Saturday, October 25th at Y2, Damsterdiep 299 for Silophone Session #14 — a multidisciplinary jam session open to musicians, dancers, spoken word artists, and the audience. Expect an afternoon full of creativity, collaboration, and improvisation.

The session begins at 3:30 PM with an opening performance by singer-songwriter Anna Sóley. Between 4:15 and 4:30 PM the jam will begin and continue until around 6:30 PM. Admission is free, but donations for the opening act are appreciated.

About Anna Sóley

Icelandic singer-songwriter Anna Sóley will perform new songs from her upcoming album Painting Reality, Photographing Fiction, alongside older originals and selected covers. Her music, inspired by folk and artists such as Emiliana Torrini and Nick Drake, combines poetic lyrics, vivid imagery, and recurring motifs that explore how storytelling shapes our view of reality. She is joined by Lilja María, performing on the self-designed instrument Hulda.

Anna Sóley studied music and literature in Iceland and the Netherlands, graduating with a BA in Jazz & Pop Vocals from ArtEZ and an MA in Literature from Utrecht University. Her debut album Modern Age Ophelia was released in 2022, and she is currently working on her next studio album. Besides performing, she teaches Music History and Lyric Writing at ArtEZ and gives vocal lessons at De Lindenberg.
