Willem Knight & Robert Heppener

Fest und Friede is the title of the 15th Final Choir edition, festive and deeply lived. The title piece on the program is Schoenberg’s monumental Friede auf Erden. Silvestrov, who lives in Kiev, wrote a moving Gebet für die Ukraïne, flanked by two compositions by Hindemith, a composer whose works were banned by the Nazis as Entartete Kunst during the Second World War. Sweelinck’s timeless psalms sound from the Dutch golden age in which the psalmist wishes peace for godly people. Peace is sung in Brahms’ festive Fest- und Gedenkspüche. Poet Ivanka de Ruijter wonders whether time is made of water in Tij, William Knight’s latest composition. Heppener sings about the devils who like to disturb the peace and tranquility, and the program ends with Mendelssohn’s Herr, nun lässest du deinen Diener in Frieden fahren.

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.

Simeon ten Holt: Canto Ostinato 2.0 (Schneemann)

Julian Schneemann is a musical adventurer. Everything he tackles, he does slightly differently, shedding new light on a work. This also applies to Canto Ostinato 2.0, Schneemann’s contemporary version of Simeon ten Holt’s equally iconic and hypnotic masterpiece.
