De Engelse Kerk

Het Zomeroctet

The Summer Octet, led by Frank van den Brink, gave a concert in the English Church at the Beguinage, featuring works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, 'Clarinet quintet KV 581', and 'Octet for winds and strings' by Jean Françaix.

Christ's College Chapel Choir

The repertoire of the New Zealand Chapel Choir of Christ's College not only reflects the college's Anglican heritage but also includes a range of sacred and secular works by leading New Zealand and other contemporary composers, including New Zealand choral composers Patrick Shepherd, Chris Archer, David Hamilton and the Puanaki Whanau. The Chapel Choir performs in the English Church at the Beguinage.

In.Dia - Perfect Chaos

Guitar duo In.Dia combines classical and Portuguese guitars in a unique combination, created by guitarists Diogo Passos and Hugo Gambóias. The pair performs in the English Church at the Beguinage.

Tolhuistuin

The Hi-Stakes

At the beginning of this year, they played no fewer than 2 major international tours in Brazil and Mexico, and now they are back in their hometown at the Grachtenfestival!

Gerbrich Meijer & Michel Xie

Clarinetist Gerbrich Meijer - a former nominee of the Grachtenfestival - dares to play with the conventions of the classical recital. Works by Bernstein, Poulenc, and Samuelsson, among others, illustrate her treatise on the music and lives of the composers, complete with images and interaction with the audience. It was definitely a surprising concert. Today, she joins forces with pianist Michel Xie for a spectacular concert.

Dominicuskerk

Dominicuskerk (Dominican church)

Ichiko Aoba

Fabrique des Lumières

Jazz Gems: Rafael Devánte Sinay

In the spectacular digital art centre Fabrique des Lumières, Rafael Devánte Sinay will apply knowledge from his prosperous career to a unique concept.

Schellingwouderkerk

Cosima Brass Quintet

In this family performance, the members of the Cosima Brass Quintet and percussionist Nóra Takács bring the stories of One Thousand and One Nights to life. The famous orchestral suite 'Sheherazade' by Rimsky Korsakov takes centre stage while the young musicians of the ensemble tell the stories.

Van Ruller - Hogenhuis

These Dutch jazz heroes hardly need any introduction: guitarist Jesse van Ruller and saxophonist Maarten Hogenhuis form a versatile duo. Although their roots lie in jazz, they like to be inspired by idiosyncratic bands and songwriters such as Sufjan Stevens, Andrew Bird, Grizzly Bear and Blake Mills. Both players seek dialogue and break the traditional division of roles of accompanist and soloist. This illustrious duo, which has a broad view of saxophone and guitar, performs in the Bimhuis.

't Zonnehuis

Jazz Gems: Sam Ghezzi

Singer and saxophonist Sam Ghezzi has made a splash in recent years as the frontman of The Hi-Stakes and Roaring Cats, among others. With a preference for vintage sounds, Sam almost always focuses his music on sounds from the past, from the 'Roaring '20s' to music from the 'Swinging '50s'.

Oosterpark

Trio Pedano

Trio Pedano is a trio of all-rounders and at home in all styles. From the fairytale sounds of Schumann's 'Märchenerzählungen' and the temperamental works of Astor Piazzolla to chansons by Piaf, Aznavour, and Jacques Brel. Maria Pedano sings and plays the oboe, her sister Anuschka adds the warm sound of the viola and pianist Illia Fialko completes the ensemble. The trio performs at Felix Meritis.

Yannick Hiwat

Grachtenfestival Jazz Gems: Yannick Hiwat

Yannick Hiwat is a special musician: he uses his violin in styles where this is not always self-evident and he effortlessly combines his mastery of classical music with a deep-rooted feeling for hip-hop, soul and jazz. Another striking fact about Yannick is that he plays a 7-string mezzo violin, the only one in the world. Armed with his violin, he plays across all genres.

Ronald Snijders & Ju Ju Young Lee

Grachtenfestival: Ronald Snijders & Ju Ju Young Lee Quartet
