Lunchtime concert
Kāna Trio (Dutch Classical Talent)Thu 17 Apr ’25The Kāna Trio addresses a pressing question in an impressive manner: how should we relate to nature? In their performance, the trio delves into the chaos of human noise and pollution to find a clear answer. They play together flawlessly, powerful yet never too loud, as described by the jury of Dutch Classical Talent. The intrusion of noise, machines, and dirt everywhere we go, all to make our short-term lives more comfortable, at the expense of future generations. The trio invites you to deep reflection and confronts you with some of the most important dilemmas of our time.

Philzuid
Bach's St Matthew PassionSat 19 Apr ’25About three hundred years ago, the first performance of the St. Matthew Passion took place in the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. With librettist Picander, Bach created a magnificent masterpiece for two orchestras, two choirs, a children's choir, and vocal soloists. "The St. Matthew" is heard every year around Easter in hundreds of sold-out concert halls and packed churches. Jos van Veldhoven's last St. Matthew Passion with the Dutch Bach Society was praised by the Volkskrant for its "transparent sound," "dramatic moments," and "lively performance."

Ragazze Quartet & Thomas Beijer
Chamber music by Prokofiev and ShostakovichSmall Hall on SundaySun 27 Apr ’25The Stalin Prize. 100,000 rubles. Although Dmitri Shostakovich was certainly no friend of dictator Josef Stalin, he accepted this gesture from the regime nonetheless. After all, one must live as a composer. The prize was awarded for his Piano Quintet, completed in November 1940. It marked a new high point in his body of work and is now one of his most beloved scores. The musicians we seek are close to home: the Dutch Ragazze Quartet and the Dutch multi-talent but tonight 'only' pianist Thomas Beijer.

Het Kabouterboek (2+)
Leer alles over kabouters!Pancake concertSun 4 May ’25This concert is entirely spoken in Dutch.
In Het Kabouterboek van Loes Riphagen leer je alles over de kabouter. Je komt er bijvoorbeeld achter dat kabouters tegenwoordig gewoon in de stad wonen, je leert wat een plattespullenklem is en hoe je je het beste kunt vermommen. In Het Kabouterboek - de voorstelling kom je nóg meer te weten over kabouters. Hoe klinkt het als ze zingen (vals!), hoe ruiken ze, hoe voelt een huisbeest aan? Marianne van Houten creëert de kabouterwereld op het podium en met een Heel Groot Kabouterboek neemt ze alle kijkers mee de fantasie in. Maar is het wel fantasie?-

Fazil Say
Turkish master plays Bach, Beethoven, and own workFamous PianistsWed 7 May ’25'Composed music wants to emerge as an improvisation, and composing is already improvisation in itself,' Fazil Say explained in an interview. The Turkish master pianist is completely in his element with any kind of music-making. The former child prodigy, son of a novelist, describes himself as a storyteller in music. Interpreting Beethoven's strom-like 'Tempest', bringing Scarlatti's age-old purity to life, or playing his own music inspired by jazz, Stravinsky or Turkish folk music, "there is always a story fantasised by me that echoes in the background.

Philzuid
Exciting opera by Mozart and BeethovenSun 11 May ’25"Laugh, throw things on stage, and especially clap between the movements!" said Richard Egarr to the audience before giving the downbeat for his previous concert at Philzuid. It turned out to be a beautiful evening that we won't soon forget. This British early music specialist would prefer to be teleported with orchestra and all to Beethoven's time if he could. And that's precisely what he aims to achieve with this extraordinary concert programme.

Today's showpiece is Johannes Brahms' romantic piano quintet. A deeply moving play with light and dark - the latter especially.

Philzuid
Ravel's ‘jazzy’ piano concertoSat 24 May ’25Conductor Dirk Kaftan has been leading the renowned Beethoven Orchestra Bonn for years. This marks his debut with Philzuid. The program featuring Brahms and Ravel suits the German maestro perfectly. Brahms composed his Symphony No. 2 in the summer of 1877 in an idyllic Austrian village by a lake. It is his sunniest, most carefree symphony. Finally stepping out of Beethoven's shadow, Brahms had found his voice.

Collegium Vocale Gent & Philippe Herreweghe
Gesualdo's madrigalsUtrecht Early Music Festival presentsWed 28 May ’25The fact that Carlo Gesualdo murdered his wife and her lover is one of the juiciest tidbits in music history. Could there be a connection between the drama and the eccentric polyphony of the Prince of Venosa? Gesualdo's Fourth Book of Madrigals dates shortly after the events and bears witness to his unrestrained experimental urge and emotional volatility. Collegium Vocale Gent extracts the finest nuances from these songs of scorching desire and sweet lovesickness.
