Unfortunately, soprano Fleur Strijbos of the Duo StrijbosCraens is ill and cannot perform. But do not be dismayed, as we have managed to arrange a beautiful replacement program. Cellist Andrej van Brakel and pianist Anastasia Safonova will be performing works by Beethoven, Brahms, and Dvořák. Ticket buyers have been informed of this change via e-mail.

Cellist Andrej van Brakel is studying at the Maastricht Conservatory and has already had the privilege of delivering several solo performances. At the international festival of Boris Berezovsky, he played with an orchestra in front of an audience of 6000 people!

Anastasia Safonova is a pianist with a beautiful, colorful, and poetic playing style. Her continuous engagement, fascinating energy, and deep musical understanding are often praised. In 2021, her solo CD "Vol vers l’étoile" was released, and this album received a rating of 10 from the music magazine "Luister"!
