Between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, Simeon ten Holt’s world-famous masterpiece Canto Ostinato will be performed by two top musicians. Internationally acclaimed organist Aart Bergwerff will play the renowned De Rijckere organ in De Oostkerk. Together with trumpeter Eric Vloeimans—a jazzy all-rounder and master of improvisation—a unique musical interplay will emerge.

Be enchanted by Canto Ostinato in De Oostkerk.

The secret of the Canto? Its meditative power. Its intoxicating repetition. The subtle tension between freedom and structure.

A concert that moves, never bores, and stays with you. Treat yourself to a brilliant experience these days. Bergwerff and Vloeimans make Ten Holt’s Canto Ostinato shake and dance joyfully to its foundations. Bergwerff keeps the enchanting pulse alive, while Vloeimans allows his ethereal, atmospheric trumpet playing to reach great poetic heights. – Mark van de Voort (Listen)
