Agenda

A rock band and a string quartet? Hooverphonic proves that they blend together wonderfully on November 7 at Muziekgebouw Eindhoven. Twenty years after their first acoustic tour, the popular Belgian rock band travels through venues accompanied by, indeed, a string quartet. The motto during the performance in Muziekgebouw Eindhoven is; Sit Down and Listen to Hooverphonic. A command that sounds like music to the ears and immediately clarifies what this promising evening is all about. This special performance promises pure music, stripped down to the core. Enjoy an evening of evergreens centred on the pure vocals of Geike Arnaert. A magical journey through Hooverphonic's career, where they are moving without being overwhelming.

The Flemish singer Joris van Rossem, better known as Metejoor, was discovered almost 'accidentally' in 2016 by a producer who felt that his voice 'hit like a meteor'. A few years later, he has become a fixture in the charts. In 2021, his debut album, 'Metejoor', was released, featuring hits like '1 Op Een Miljoen', 'Wat Wil Je Van Mij', and 'Ze Meent Het'. He also collaborated with prominent Dutch artists such as Snelle ('Kijk Ons Nou') and Emma Heesters ('Rendez-Vous'). In 2023, Metejoor released his second album, 'Joris'. A very personal record that he showcases, along with his many hits, during his concert at Muziekgebouw Eindhoven!

The Colombian-Dutch guitarist Roenik Roa Espinosa, better known as Ronny deCarlo, strives for a new sound by combining his quirky and soulful guitar playing with the sound design of hip-hop, EDM, and music for films and video games. His compositions are influenced by funk, 00's boom bap, nu-metal, Ennio Morricone's spaghetti western soundtracks, and Bryson Tiller's trapsoul. In 2023, Ronny deCarlo won 'The Records', a competition by the Keep an Eye Foundation, which enabled him to record his debut album "Fonque Nouveau." On this record, Ronny explores the boundaries of genres, blending the feel of a live funk/gospel band with an acoustic/electric hybrid sound.

Scottish artist Derek William Dick, better known as Fish, gained fame as the lead singer of the British progressive rock band Marillion. During his Farewell Tour, he bids farewell to his fans after four decades filled with hits, memories, and performances. In 1990, he made his solo debut with the album 'Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors,' and the track 'A Gentleman’s Excuse Me' even earned him a Top 40 hit. Accompanied by talented musicians, old friends, and co-writers, he is coming for a final concert to Muziekgebouw Eindhoven. The setlist for each concert during his farewell tour will be different, and, of course, it will include songs from his time with Marillion!

The world-renowned Harlem Gospel Choir is known for their powerful singing style, beautiful sound, and infectious energy. For almost four decades, they have been America's premier gospel choir, traveling the world to diverse audiences with the inspiring power of black gospel music. Following successful tribute shows honoring Nina Simone and Whitney Houston, they now pay homage to the iconic soul singer Aretha Franklin. Enjoy tonight Aretha's greatest hits, such as "Respect," "Think," and "Natural Woman."

As a street musician, Korean-American blues poet Nat Myers tried to earn some extra money after the pandemic broke out. When Myers began sharing his music on social media, he quickly caught the attention of none other than Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. This eventually led to the recording of his debut album, "Yellow Peril." The album is steeped in blues and folk, but with a contemporary twist. It depicts Myers' journey through America and his search for his cultural identity, with songs that blend old blues traditions with modern themes such as racial identity and social justice.

Mezzo-soprano and actress Isabel Pronk takes you on a journey through a night where the main character feels loneliness and darkness for the first time in a long while. With monologues written in collaboration with writer Amanda Payne and accompanied by a piano trio, this story is told through music from composers such as Astor Piazzolla, Kurt Weill, and Wende Snijders. According to the jury report of Dutch Classical Talent, she tells her story 'with determination and eagerness' and has 'a good sense of text combined with a touch of theater'.

After a year of sold-out shows and performances at all major festivals, Jaap Reesema is coming to Muziekgebouw Eindhoven for the first time! In 2010, we got to know Jaap when he won the third season of X Factor. What followed was a successful career in both the Netherlands and Belgium. With hits like "Nu Wij Niet Meer Praten," "Alles Komt Goed," and "Mijn Kleine Presidentje," he consistently strikes a sensitive chord. In 2022, Jaap participated in the Dutch TV programme Beste Zangers, where he delivered a beautiful rendition of Nielson's song "Grijs." Jaap ranked at position 280 in the Radio 2 Top 2000 of 2023 with this song!

Step back in time and relive The Golden Era (1968-1972) of The Rolling Stones! The Dutch band Stones Sessions will take you on a journey through the famous stories and turbulent events in the lives of the Stones during this period. It was a time when they created masterpieces such as the hits "Sympathy For The Devil," "Gimme Shelter," and "Brown Sugar." Immerse yourself in the creativity, passion, and rock 'n' roll that defined this Golden Era. There is no band in the Netherlands that captures the authentic music of The Rolling Stones quite like Stones Sessions.

The love for funk, disco, and afrobeat brought the men of Cavolo Nero together. The psychedelic groove band is known for their energetic music and equally energetic performances. In 2022, they released their debut EP and toured the Netherlands with Popronde – a great kickstart for national recognition. Their resounding performance at Eurosonic truly tipped the scales, after which their schedule quickly filled up with festival shows. Tonight, they are swapping large festivals for the intimate club setting of M. You're guaranteed a danceable evening with this six-piece band! And we should know: Cavolo Nero played earlier this year during the festive opening of M.

On a sleek, fast racing bike, leaning forward, blonde curls waving, sunglasses on, and then also carrying a bassoon under your arm. That's Bram van Sambeek. He doesn't like boundaries, boxes, limitations. He stands with his instrument in the midst of life. One day he discovered Rick Stotijn. Another musician who thinks outside the box. Together with pianist Hans Eijsackers, they present a program that you can truly call cross-over: from Schumann to Led Zeppelin.

Rhythmix is a musical live show for young (8+) and old that you absolutely must see. In this musical journey, the four enthusiastic percussionists of Percossa and the musicians of Philzuid will take you through the extremes of what a large symphony orchestra can do: from agonizingly slow to impossibly fast and virtuosic, from blazing flamenco to subdued classical.

She is one of the most intriguing singer-songwriters of the moment: Jessica Pratt. Her distinctive, mystical voice and impressive guitar playing draw you in from the very first note of her dreamy indiefolk songs. With the albums 'On Your Own Love Again' and 'Quiet Signs,' Pratt proves her artistic versatility and ability to create timeless music. These mysterious songs and her vulnerable presence are best experienced in an intimate setting. It’s no surprise, then, that she is performing in the Small Hall of Muziekgebouw Eindhoven!

NITS, one of the oldest and most dynamic pop bands in Europe, is celebrating their fiftieth anniversary with a brand-new tour. A significant part of their impressive history is based on major hits like "In The Dutch Mountains," "J.O.S. Days", "Adieu, Sweet Bahnhof," and "Nescio." But what truly makes NITS vibrant is their continual growth as artists. Each album tells its own new story, whether it's "Ting of Les Nuits" or their recent trilogy "Angst," "Knot," and "NEON." To commemorate their anniversary, the band released the album "Tree House Fire" last January. During this concert, the band will perform songs from this album and take you on a journey through their fifty years of music history.

This concert is entirely spoken in Dutch.

In een rustige, ontspannen sfeer hoor je het verhaal van Pietje Moe. In grappige en fantasievolle scènes zie je hoe Pietje Moe voor het eerst met Sinterklaas mee mag en van alles ontdekt. De voorstelling is omlijst met de allerleukste Sinterklaasliedjes. Uit volle borst meezingen mag! Zachtjes gaan de paardenvoetjes is geïnspireerd op het gelijknamige prentenboek met cd, gemaakt door Ageeth de Haan en illustrator Noëlle Smit die voor deze voorstelling ook het decor ontwierp. In 2017 is het boek met cd door uitgeverij Gottmer opnieuw uitgegeven in een nieuwe versie. Goed om te weten: er is geen live bezoek van de Sint en zijn Pieten in deze voorstelling.

At the Amsterdam Conservatory, the young musicians of The Fried Seven discovered their shared love for early jazz, the jazz of the 1920s and 1930s. The band excels at revitalizing these early styles. Their swinging repertoire includes songs by artists like Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, and Duke Ellington, but they also perform their own arrangements. In January, they released their debut album 'Late to the Party'. This album features a mix of classic jazz numbers and new original pieces, through which they vividly honor traditional jazz and introduce new ideas.

Five stars - the highest possible - the Volkskrant stuck on Lahav Shani's Mahler 2 with his Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. Last season, the orchestra was also unforgettable in Muziekgebouw Eindhoven. '...then you notice how effective Shani's dynamics are, and how sublimely the giant RPhO reacts to him,' wrote the reviewer, duly impressed by this experience. On the cusp of this Bruckner year 2024 (Bruckner was born 200 years ago), we celebrate this 'composer of monumental buildings' together with Shani and his Rotterdammers.

There will be a free introduction at 7:30 PM, co-sponsored by the Friends of Muziekgebouw Eindhoven.

The Dutch/New Zealand trio MY BABY, consisting of lead vocalist Cato van Dijck, her brother Joost as drummer, and guitarist Daniel Johnston, effortlessly combines elements of blues, folk, soul, and funk with world music and trance.
