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.

Maxim Shalygin: Angel

Drama, melancholy and reflection are the keynotes in this compelling programme. Four compositions express complex emotions, such as pain that turns into beauty, in the ultimate search for meaning. With powerful contrasts and vocal and instrumental depth, Nieuw Amsterdams Peil offers a listening experience that is both confrontational and moving.

Every year, Calefax invites a well-known Dutch personality to the concert series Welcome to Calefaxland. Not a musician, but someone who loves music. But Ramsey Nasr, guest of this fourth edition, is no longer a melomaniac or a music lover: Ramsey is addicted.
