Gaudeamus House 100 years!
September 16, 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the laying of the first stone of Huize Gaudeamus by Frithjof Richard Röntgen! We will of course all celebrate this extensively in the week of September 15 to 22. During that entire week the “Sounds” that sounded in the house will come to us again. A festive week with many concerts, a documentary and fun.
The entire anniversary program is explained and a ‘visual story’ about 100 years of history of Huize Gaudeamus is revealed by the well-known cartoonist and graphic designer Joost Swarte.
A concert programme with music by composers for whom Huize Gaudeamus was important. Musicologist Leo Samama will present this evening. Tonight’s programme concerns works for string quartet performed by the Otilka Quartet. The concert programme is:
* Henk Stam (1922-2002) – String Quartet 3, 1955
* Peter Schat (1935-2003) – Introduction and Adagio opus 2
* Ton de Leeuw (1926-1996) – First string quartet
* Tomás Marco (1942) – String Quartet (Aura) 1969
* Enrique Raxach (1932) – Phases for string quartet
This evening, recordings will be made by NPO Klassiek that will be broadcast during the NTR Evening Concert on Sunday, September 22 at 8:00 PM
