Apollo Ensemble - 'Weihnachten' in de 17e eeuw

Christmas has always been very inspiring for composers. The story, with the baby Jesus in a manger, the angels, the shepherds with the sheep and the three kings, it is a fascinating scene that produced a lot of beautiful music. Apollo provides a special Christmas program every year and in 2024 they choose Germany in the 17th century. The time just before Bach. A heyday when it comes to vocal music. Cantatas and motets by Dietrich Buxtehude, Heinrich Schütz, Matthias Weckmann and Christoph Bernhard are alternated with festive instrumental music in De Waalse Kerk.

Yuletide Treats met Duo Pleyel

Yuletide was originally a Germanic midwinter festival, but is now often used as a synonym for the Christmas season, which extends from Hanukkah, via Christmas, to Epiphany. There was a time when it was mandatory for almost all artists to make a Christmas album. After all, one successful Christmas hit meant an annual goldmine. With their new album 'Yuletide Treats', Duo Pleyel, consisting of pianists Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya and Richard Egarr, embraces this tradition. During this concert in the Waalse Kerk, they will treat you to the greatest classical hits that are inextricably linked to the magic of Christmas.
