The Nonet Udo van Boven was re-established by Udo after the same line-up gave a one-off performance with Udo’s transcriptions of Rogier van Otterloo’s music for the film Turks Fruit in 2006 and had not been performed since then due to his teaching abroad.
In 2023, Udo resumed and, with the addition of a few new pieces, revived the project. The aim of the project this time is to connect renowned The Hague jazz musicians with young talent.
