Experience Kika Sprangers live on November 27th

Kika Sprangers is a Dutch composer and sound artist whose work frequently blends acoustic instruments – particularly piano and voice – with electronic processing and field recordings. Her compositions often explore themes of nature, memory, and the interplay between organic and synthetic sounds, resulting in a delicate yet subtly unsettling sonic landscape. She has released albums on labels such as Dekmantel and has collaborated with various artists across experimental music and contemporary classical fields.

LantarenVenster is a cultural centre located in Rotterdam, Netherlands, housed within a former shipping warehouse dating back to 1953. Originally functioning as a warehouse for the Netherlands Steamship Company, it was transformed into a cinema in 1982, becoming known for its arthouse film programming. Over time, LantarenVenster expanded to include multiple cinema screens, concert halls, and exhibition spaces. It now presents a diverse program encompassing film, music (spanning jazz to electronic), dance, and visual arts. The building itself is architecturally significant due to its industrial heritage and subsequent adaptive reuse. It’s positioned prominently on the Kop van Zuid peninsula overlooking the Nieuwe Maas river.
