When the sun goes down, warm sounds caress your ears, coming from a rooftop in Amsterdam-Noord. The spectacular setting and intimate atmosphere of our summer venue form the perfect conditions for artists to create magical moments. On Friday September 19th we welcome Mira Thompson and Teis Semey's Midnight Mess to the stage.
MIRA THOMPSON
Mira Thompson is a singer, songwriter and performer. Inspired by the tradition of vocal jazz, she is drawn to narrative songs with strong poetic and visual elements. During her time at the HKU Utrecht Conservatorium she developed a fascination for the different ways in which the voice can function as an embodied instrument. Whether written, spoken or sung, Mira uses language to evoke deep and hidden feelings with a sincere but witty approach.

TEIS SEMEY'S MIDNIGHT MESS
In 2023, Teis Semey released the album ‘Midnight mess volume 1’ (Loumi records) following a composition assignment for North Sea Round Town. Partly recorded in a squat in Amsterdam and partly in a concert hall in Eindhoven, he recorded this tranquil album with a choir and an organ. In Teis’ own words ‘this album sort of swept my heart away from the start. Midnight Mess vol. 1 is as much a choral album as it is a jazz album. Or an indie album. In other words, ‘kind of, but also’.”
Purposely choosing for DYI approach to composing and recording and a raw sounding mix, resulted in a very up-close and personal album. On the last evening of our series, Teis will perform music from this album, in what we expect will be a unique and very intimate concert, fitting perfectly with our venue.
