A nod to the annual Prinsengracht concerts, but in the Walloon church, located on the canal of the Oudezijds Achterburgwal! Pianist Tobias Borsboom will play unknown compositions with a touch of Dutch glory. Great catchy hits from yesteryear that have been given a new look.

Mozart composed these 7 variations for piano on the then well-known song Willem van Nassau for the solemn inauguration of Stadtholder Willem V. The most famous orchestral work by Peter van Anrooy, a fierce anti-Nazi, is the Piet Hein Rhapsody. The well-known song De Zilvervloot is performed here for the first time in an arrangement for piano solo by Tobias Borsboom.

Peter Vigh wrote his ‘Perpetuum mobile’ for Tobias; an “infinity and transformation of time and space”. Cellist Pamela Smits makes a guest appearance in Jacob Ter Veldhuis’ ‘May this Bliss Never End’ in a version for piano and cello and boombox. It is a tribute to jazz trumpeter Chet Baker, based on one of his last interviews before his tragic death in 1988, falling from a hotel window in Amsterdam. The work gives an impression of his life as an artist and drug addict.
