Simeon ten Holt: Canto Ostinato (Bergwerff-Mol-Van Veen)

Experience a magical Christmas in the historic Laurenskerk in Rotterdam with a special reclining concert on Friday, December 19, 2025. Be enveloped by the mystical sounds of Canto Ostinato, an iconic minimalist masterpiece by the Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt. This unique experience is brought to life by master pianists Jeroen van Veen and Sandra Mol, together with Aart Bergwerff on the impressive transept organ of the Laurenskerk.

Canto Ostinato is a musical journey that provides space for contemplation, serenity and inner reflection. Ten Holt created a hypnotic soundscape with a repeating, subtly changing pattern that feels like a musical mantra. In this performance, the warm sounds of the grand pianos and the majestic organ come together in an enchanting dialogue that spreads through the centuries-old vaults of the Laurenskerk.

Victoria Vita Poleva: Walking on waters

A naturalist masterpiece, The Meeting, painted by Ukrainian artist Marie Bashkirtseff, may have a message that goes beyond the image itself. Marie Bashkirtseff exhibited this painting in Paris at the Salon in 1884, in an era when the Fine Arts school was reserved for men.
