Guus Janssen: Composer’s Portrait (interview)

Pianist, organist and composer Guus Janssen is a welcome guest in the Orgelpark. His series of new compositions is reason to dedicate a composer’s portrait to him. Janssen published a collection of new organ music from which a number of works will be played tonight. And to give the evening even more sparkle, pianist Gerard Bouwhuis will play the premiere of a series of variations for piano.

Guus Janssen talks about his relationship with the organ: how does he see the instrument, and how does that determine his organ music? Organist Geerten van de Wetering also participates in the interview, who will perform in the concert tonight. Together with Janssen he prepared the program meticulously. The discussion leader is Hans Fidom; the conversation lasts over an hour.

Robert Heppener: Nachtklange / Canto carnascialeschi / Spinsel

A Singer’s Farewell Semi-staged performance with beautiful music from the Romantic period. There was a time when increasing age meant wisdom and respect. That is no longer self-evident. Singing at the highest level has a limited duration. At some point, singers say goodbye to the family from which they seemed inseparable.

Jan-Peter de Graaff: Hagar, an opera in 4 scenes

On Thursday, May 15th, the Nederlandse Reisopera presented its upcoming season with a brand new opera.  A bold and creative partnership between composer Jan-Peter de Graaff and librettist Eleanor Barlow, Hagar is a daring, modern and fiercely human reimagining of the ancient tale that explores resilience, scandal, and consequence.
