Tilen Lebar, Louis Andriessen, Yannis Kyriakides, Celia Swart, Henriëtte Bosmans, Calliope Tsoupaki @ Andriessen Festival

We are already approaching the fifth edition of the Andriessen Festival! Together with Musis & Stadstheater Arnhem and Phion, Orchestra of Gelderland & Overijssel, Orkest De Ereprijs presents a program full of contemporary music in the footsteps of Louis Andriessen.

Andriessen’s search for and compositions for unconventional instrumentations created an ensemble tradition that encourages adventurous and unexpected forms of written music. To explore the future of classical music, Phion and Orkest De Ereprijs are joining forces under the name RKST21. Andriessen influenced many composers in different ways. During this festival, we give a stage to all these different approaches to music today and we celebrate the work of Louis Andriessen. Both RKST21 and Orchestra De Ereprijs play under the direction of Clark Rundell.

Soloist is master pianist Severin von Eckardstein.

In addition to RKST21, several soloists and smaller ensembles such as Kluster5, Michaela Riener and Laura Sandee will present music by Yannis Kyriakides (premiere), Jennifer Walsch, Pete Harden, Christiaan Richter, Steve Martland and Celia Swart, among others.

Lucas Wiegerink: opera Bremer Straatmuzikanten

A discarded donkey playing the double bass, a hoarse rooster with a trumpet, an old dog playing percussion and a cat singing. Four animals together form a colourful group. In the eyes of the people, the animals are too old or no longer suitable to do their work.
