Camilla George

Saxophonist Camilla George is inextricably linked to London's innovative jazz scene. Like her contemporaries Nubya Garcia, Shabaka Hutchings and Zara McFarlane, she is open to all kinds of contemporary influences. Her music is a hypnotic mix of Afro-futurism, hip-hop and jazz. In doing so, she shows a political awareness and a keen interest in African history.

Cello Biennale: Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest, Ivan Karizna and Truls Mørk

Please note: there is a waiting list for this concert. One of the most famous soloists of the moment, Truls Mørk, was last at the Biennale in 2012 with Shostakovich's popular First Cello Concerto. Now he plays the equally impressive Second Concerto.

Cello Biennale: Waldesruhe and a Requiem -  Luca Giovannini, Manuel Lipstein and Erica Piccotti

3 young cellists from the prestigious Kronberg Academy, a permanent partner of the Cello Biennale since 2012, are soloists at the breeding ground of the Netherlands Wind Ensemble. In the Requiem by the Czech cellist and composer David Popper, they are given the opportunity to show their lyrical side.

Cello Biennale: Asko|Schönberg Groeneveld, Van Halsema, Den Herder, Rosler + Dillon

Guus Janssen writes a concertino for the 4 cellists who previously successfully launched Martijn Padding's Biennale Galop.

Cello Biennale: Nationaal Cello Concours Finale

The three finalists of the National Cello Competition will play the well-known Rococo Variations by Tchaikovsky, the ideal competition piece. The concert will last until approximately 22:15. The award ceremony will start around 23:00.

Lieux retrouvés Viersen, Andrianov, Gerhardt + Nederlands Kamerorkest

Saint-Saëns’ Cello concerto is one of the most beloved cello concertos of all time and who better to show us why than Quirine Viersen, who already did so once in 2014 at the Biënnale? And then Volkmann’s virtuosic cello concerto is quintessentially romantic and was extremely popular at the time it was written, but for reasons we couldn��t possibly understand it is barely ever played nowadays. Alban Gerhardt is going to change that!

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Nicolas Altstaedt + Alisa Weilerstein

Matthias Pintscher leads the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in his own dark and lyrical cello concerto Un Despertar (An Awakening), which he composed in 2017 for Alisa Weilerstein.

Cello Biennale: Hello Cello Orkest

140 children from all over the country play in the Hello Cello Orchestra in the Main Hall of the Muziekgebouw. Martin Fondse, Composer of the Fatherland in 2022 and 2023, creates the new music and leads the 140-headed buzzing monster. Free admission!

Cello Biennale: Cello Unlimited Kian Soltani

Kian Soltani is one of the most sought-after cellists of our time. In 2015, at the age of 23, he made his Dutch debut during the Sneak Preview of the sixth Cello Biennale. Since then, he has been one of the regular festival cellists. In addition to classical work, Kian has always had a guilty pleasure since childhood: bombastic and compelling film music from major Hollywood blockbusters.

Cello Biennale: Bach & Breakfast Kian Soltani

Six festival days start as every day should: a light breakfast with freshly squeezed juice, a warm croissant and a cappuccino, followed by one of the six cello suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, performed by a different soloist each time. A Biennale classic that is loved by everyone!
