Douwe Eisenga, Celia Swart, Bram Kortekaas at the Day of the Composer

Douwe Eisenga wrote his piano piece ‘For Mattia’ as a tribute to a 26-year-old woman who died at the request of her parents. He plays the piece himself. On a slightly out-of-tune upright piano, he recorded a recording that rose rapidly into the classical top 400. Eisenga took the spotlight with his contemplative piano piece, the kind of music for which the term “neoclassical” has been revived.

Douwe Eisenga plays in TivoliVredenburg and is interviewed by Aad van Nieuwkerk and Karmit Fadael. Then Celia Swart and Bram Kortekaas join. They wrote new work for the Concertgebouw Orchestra and talk about their collaboration as composers in their twenties with the world-renowned orchestra.

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.

Joey Roukens: Vi Amai

(South)-American swing, French sensuality, and Dutch common sense—it’s all present during this apple pie concert. This alone makes it a wonderful opportunity to listen to the richness of classical music together with neighbors, friends, or caregivers.
