Gaudeamus House 100 years!

September 16, 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the laying of the first stone of Huize Gaudeamus by Frithjof Richard Röntgen! We will of course all celebrate this extensively in the week of September 15 to 22. During that entire week the “Sounds” that sounded in the house will come to us again. A festive week with many concerts, a documentary and fun.

The entire anniversary program is explained and a ‘visual story’ about 100 years of history of Huize Gaudeamus is revealed by the well-known cartoonist and graphic designer Joost Swarte.

A concert program with music by composers for whom Huize Gaudeamus was important. Musicologist Leo Samama will present this evening. Tonight it concerns works for piano and cello performed by Laurens de Man (piano) and Maya Fridman (cello). The concert program is:

Henk Stam (1922-2002) – Sonatina Giudaica

Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) – Môde de Valeurs et d’Intensités

John Cage (1912-1992) – In a Landscape

Otto Ketting (1935-2012) – Serenade for cello and piano

Louis Andriessen (1939-2021) – La Voce

Olivier Messiaen – Alouette Lulu

Joep Straesser (1934-2004) – Alliages for cello and piano

This evening recordings will be made by the Concertzender.
