Carlos Micháns: Cherished Dream

Experience the Dutch premiere of Carlos Micháns’ Cherished Dream as chamber choir Doulce Mémoire, led by Felix van de Hombergh, takes you on a musical journey through four centuries of Dutch and Flemish choral mastery.

In this captivating program, “Ons vlakke land” (Our Flat Land), contemporary composers like Micháns and Van der Laag meet the old masters in a seamless soundscape. From the intricate 17th-century polyphony of Sweelinck to the Romantic nature-inspired works of Diepenbrock, you’ll hear how the musical heritage of the Low Countries continues to evolve while staying true to its roots.

It’s a living dialogue between past and present, performed in Dutch, German, French, English, Spanish, and Italian—reflecting the international spirit that has always defined our shores. Don’t miss this chance to hear Micháns’ work shine in a program full of discovery.

Lucas Wiegerink: opera Bremer Straatmuzikanten

A discarded donkey playing the double bass, a hoarse rooster with a trumpet, an old dog playing percussion and a cat singing. Four animals together form a colourful group. In the eyes of the people, the animals are too old or no longer suitable to do their work.
