Rens Tienstra: chamber opera ‘Brandon’s Voyage’
In the fall of 2025, Chamber Choir NEXT will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a special world premiere: Brandon’s Voyage, a new chamber choral opera by composer Rens Tienstra, directed by Zephyr Brüggen. This musical odyssey is based on a Middle Dutch poem about the Irish abbot Brendan, who embarks on a mythical sea voyage in search of his own truth. On November 22nd and 23rd, Chamber Choir NEXT will lead its audience on this mystical journey of discovery, full of song, movement, and sound, in Utrecht and Amsterdam.
