Wim Henderickx

HERMESensemble + Music Theatre Transparant: Inner Life

The last work by composer Wim Henderickx (1962-2022) is a composition and a recipe for musical experiment in one. When Henderickx suddenly died in 2022, he was still working on it. The score is partly written out very precisely and partly open, with graphically notated fragments. The whole forms a musical laboratory that must always be given a different life. In this performance by HERMESensemble, Nemø Ensemble and conservatory students, the audience follows a route through the Muziekgebouw along the different chapters of Inner Life.

Schuberts Schwanengesang Matthias Goerne + Anton Mejias

Please note: this program is sold out. 'It is my favorite hall, because of the acoustics and the atmosphere.' Thus baritone Matthias Goerne in Het Parool about the Grote Zaal of the Muziekgebouw. And he has performed here more often than any other lieder singer. He sings with ease above a hundred-piece orchestra, but he can also sing beautifully whisper-softly. Enormous drama with Goerne. He meets the young Finnish-Cuban Anton Mejias at the piano. Together they perform the famous song cycle Schwanengesang by Franz Schubert.

Waalse Kerk (Wallonian Church)

Barry Douglas - Bösendorfer Piano Series

Irish pianist Barry Douglas launched his international career after winning the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow in 1986. His love for Russian music is therefore great and he has recorded much of this repertoire. In De Waalse Kerk he will play a number of parts from Prokofiev's '10 pieces from Romeo and Juliet'. Although the orchestral version of this is very well-known, Prokofiev often played the piano version himself in recitals. The evening will open with two 'Impromptus' by Schubert, which are among Schubert's most played and beloved works. After the break he will perform Liszt's greatest and perhaps also his most beautiful piano work: the 'Sonata in B minor'.
