In dit nieuwe en spannende avontuur reist de legendarische rups Piccolino, bekend van Piccoline Filmconcert, van het platteland naar de stad. Piccolino kruipt uit zijn comfortabele appel en ontmoet Lola, een bizarre en vriendelijke kakkerlak die zijn beste vriendin zal worden. Het Italiaans-Nederlandse geszelschap Canti Vaganti uit Madrid brengt het publiek in vervoering met live muziek, projecties en objecttheater en creëert daarmee een magische en poëtische wereld. Aan het eind danst en zingt het hele publiek mee. De musical verkent thema's als vriendschap, ontmoeting met de ander, de ontdekking van een nieuwe wereld en het genoet van alledaagse geluiden alsof het muziek is.

Behind the pages of music encyclopedias lie thousands of unknown muses and female musicians who inspired composers to create magnificent works. In Renaissance Ferrara, the duke deliberately kept the songs of his 'Concerto delle donne' from the printing presses. Vivaldi's Ospedali women performed for the public - but entered music history anonymously, just like the singers for whom French greats like Boësset and Clérambault tailored their compositions. Sébastien Daucé cracks open the vault in which these gems have remained hidden for centuries.

Masato Suzuki was steeped in Bach's music from an early age. The Japanese conductor and harpsichordist was born in The Hague, where his father, Masaaki, studied with Bach expert Ton Koopman. "At home, the dinner table conversations always revolved around Bach," he said. Father Masaaki became renowned for his work with the Bach Collegium Japan.

2025 is the year to commemorate a great composer: Dmitri Dmitry Shostakovich. He died exactly 50 years ago, making this the perfect time for a splendid project. The three sonatas he wrote for string instruments in one concerto - for violin, viola and cello. With Evgeny Kissin behind the piano, we have perhaps the best pianist in the world. He gathered three top musicians around him to add lustre to Shostakovich's sonatas. This is how to start a Shostakovich year!

The concert of the Osimun Quartet has a deep emotional meaning that will create a magical and spiritual atmosphere between the performers and the audience. They play various works from diverse styles, periods, and energies, which are however connected by a clear line of sentimental, human, and artistic development. They bring highly versatile and unique pieces by composers such as Fanny Mendelssohn, David Maslanka, and the young Spanish composer Joan Perez-Villegas. The concert does not follow a chronological order but is guided by a philosophical approach.

Exactly fifty years after the legendary recording of "The Köln Concert" by Keith Jarrett, Ralph van Raat performs this jazz classic at Muziekgebouw Eindhoven. Since the age of fourteen, Ralph van Raat has been fascinated, particularly by 20th and 21st-century classical music. Through solo recitals, lecture-recitals, piano concert performances with orchestras, and CD releases, he aims to showcase the immense beauty of contemporary music to his audience. With over fifty global piano concert performances, including collaborations with renowned orchestras such as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, along with recording more than 30 CDs, he has gained significant recognition. As a multiple award winner in both national and international competitions and scholarships, numerous composers have created works specifically for Van Raat. 

Do the best come from the East? Cellist Maja Bogdanović was born in Serbia and pianist Anna Fedorova in Ukraine. Both are top musicians: 'Cellist Maja Bogdanović is truly something special: a genuine, inspired artist with a fearless expressive sound who has much to say but is never pretentious' (New York Concert Review), 'inexhaustible, sensitive, poetic, and tasteful,' wrote Gramophone Magazine about Fedorova. They will perform two beautiful cello sonatas, among which Gabriel Fauré's is rarely heard.

"If nothing sings in you, you cannot make music," says Leonard Bernstein in "Maestro," the recent, moving film about his life. Nearly everyone knows Bernstein from his musical "West Side Story" with popular songs like "Maria" and "I Feel Pretty." But Bernstein also had another side. For his monumental Second Symphony for piano and orchestra, 'The Age of Anxiety,' he was inspired by a text by W.H. Auden.

The English doom/stoner band Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats has grown into a cult band in psychedelic rock over the past fifteen years. With their new album "Nell' Ora Blu," the band takes a radical turn. The album listens like a soundtrack to a non-existent film and is a tribute to Giallo, the Italian crime cinema of the seventies. Crime and horror are artistically combined and complemented by auditory guest appearances from top stars of the Italian giallo and poliziotteschi film genres, including Franco Nero and Edwige Fenech. Especially for this album, the band is embarking on a modest tour through Europe, stopping in Eindhoven as the only Dutch city for a special and intimate concert.

Soul and R&B trio Mell VF, formerly known as Mell & Vintage Future, brings their music back to Muziekgebouw Eindhoven! Since their debut single 'Call My Name' in 2016, the band has gained increasing recognition with hits like 'Central Station', 'Forever', 'Worth It', and their cover of Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day'. The soulful pop songs, enriched with tasteful Hammond parts, are elevated to a higher level by Mell's powerful vocals. The band frequently performs on Vandaag Inside and made a big impression on Best Singers in 2023. With three albums to their name and the fourth planned for 2024, the band is currently enjoying sold-out shows and performances at numerous festivals.
