Simeon ten Holt: Canto Ostinato (Matangi Quartet)

Just before his death, composer Simeon Ten Holt told the Matangi Quartet that his works could easily be adapted for a string quartet. The Matangis took that hint enthusiastically; they had Marijn van Prooijen make an arrangement of Ten Holt’s most famous work. The quartet is joined on stage by artist Gerard de Bruyne. Together they transform Ten Holt’s notes into an audiovisual painting that constantly takes on different guises. And then, suddenly, everything is gone…

Robert Heppener: Nachtklange / Canto carnascialeschi / Spinsel

A Singer’s Farewell Semi-staged performance with beautiful music from the Romantic period. There was a time when increasing age meant wisdom and respect. That is no longer self-evident. Singing at the highest level has a limited duration. At some point, singers say goodbye to the family from which they seemed inseparable.
