Simeon ten Holt: Incantatie IV (Natalon & Amstel Quartet)
Robert Lambermont, Anna van Nieukerken, Petra van Oort and Laura Sandee will perform works by Simeon ten Holt on the Tuesday and Wednesday after Easter. Especially on the occasion of ‘100 years of Simeon ten Holt’, the Amstel Quartet joins the Natalon Quartet this evening and they perform Incantation IV with eight of them.
100 years of Simeon ten Holt
Composer Simeon ten Holt was born 100 years ago in Bergen (NH). Stadsherstel Amsterdam honors him with two special compositions by his hand: Canto Ostinato and Incantation IV. Robert Lambermont, Petra van Oort, Laura Sandee and the new quartet member Anna van Nieukerken are Ten Holt specialists from the very beginning and traditionally perform the concerts in the original line-up on four grand pianos.

Together with the Amstel Quartet, Natalon Quartet performs Incantation IV by Simeon ten Holt. Incantation IV is the most complex composition in Simeon ten Holt’s oeuvre and is the only full-length work of which the composer indicates that it may also be performed on other instruments in addition to pianos. The sound of the saxophones blends surprisingly well with the piano sounds, raising Incantation IV to orchestral proportions. The Amstel Quartet consists of the saxophonists: Olivier Sliepen, Bas Apswoude, Harry Cherrin and Vitaly Vatulya.
The Natalon Quartet consists of pianists Petra van Oort, Laura Sandee, Robert Lambermont and Anna van Nieukerken. Petra, Laura and Robert have been playing together for over 20 years, including under the flag of the former Rondane Quartet. Laura and Anna have been a piano duo since 2002. In June 2022, the pianists joined forces and formed the Natalon Quartet.
