Simeon ten Holt: Canto Ostinato (Van Veen-Bergwerff-Vloeimans)
On December 17th, the magical Tuschinski Theater in Amsterdam opens its doors for a uniquely enchanting evening. In this Art Deco palace, Jeroen van Veen, Aart Bergwerff, and Eric Vloeimans will bring Simeon Ten Holt’s legendary Canto Ostinato to life—a musical journey that continues to resonate with generations. Canto Ostinato is an icon of Dutch music: hypnotic, captivating, and always surprising. In the hands of these masters, the piece achieves an unprecedented intensity. Pianist Jeroen van Veen is internationally renowned as Ten Holt’s premier interpreter, while organist Aart Bergwerff and trumpeter Eric Vloeimans have been nominated for an Edison Classical Award for their groundbreaking interpretation of Canto. As if that weren’t enough, the performance will be accompanied by the monumental NLXL film, created from Karel Tomeï’s aerial photography. His panoramic images of the Netherlands—expansive, poetic, and breathtaking—fill Tuschinski’s canvas, allowing the country to move with the music from the heavens. A unique fusion of sound and image, in one of the world’s most beautiful theaters. Immerse yourself in an experience you’ll cherish for a long time to come.
