Het berouw van Petrus Voces Suaves

Pain, sorrow, remorse: the apostle Peter was filled with remorse after denying Jesus three times. In 1594, Renaissance composer Orlando di Lasso made a beautiful setting of this: Lagrime di San Pietro (Tears of Peter). He dedicated it to Pope Clement VIII and it was his last composition. Ensemble Voces Suaves is known for its beautiful interpretations of Renaissance and Baroque music, based on historically informed performance practice.

Fringe: Baseline Babbling - Kirsty Baker

A one-woman tea party full of songs, an attempt at dancing and too much talking - and you're all cordially invited. Talking and singing incessantly into her microphone, Kirsty Baker celebrates the joy and importance of coming together, in the here and now, in the same room, with all the uncertainties that arise when we get so close to each other. Spontaneity, sincerity, a little chaos, a huge amount of joy and a good cup of tea guide Kirsty Baker and the audience through 'Baseline Babbling', as they feel how fundamentally they need each other and how good it can feel to be unapologetically yourself.

A beautiful path Kate Moore

Ossenlied - Herz Ensemble & Kate Moore

From Monday, 12 August to Sunday, 1 September, composer Kate Moore will work on the 'Ossenlied' (Oxen Song) as part of her residency at Plein Theater, within the research project 'A Beautiful Path.

Fringe: The Princesses - Wojciech Stachura

'The Princesses' is a play in which dolls abandoned by children have a voice. Until recently, they played a leading role in the lives and fantasies of Amsterdam children. Put aside, the dolls are still waiting for their children, telling the stories of their successes and of the moments when they were abandoned. The dolls become a hard drive on which personal experiences are recorded - they take on individual characteristics when they become part of the children's lives. Their transformation is influenced by culture, background and family relationships. The dolls used in the project were largely provided by local residents. The script was created based on interviews with the donors. The performance consists of an installation and a puppet show.

Public rehearsal: premiere Techno Etudes IV

Open rehearsal for the new work 'Techno Etudes IV' by Japanese composer Karen Tanaka. 'Techno Etudes IV' is a composition commission by Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ and Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, with support from Ammodo.

The Canterbury Songs

Join us on a journey to the fairytale Canterbury, to the England of the 16th century. A breathtaking landscape inspired the medieval writer Geoffrey Chaucer around 1400 to write his famous work 'The Canterbury Tales'. Based on Chaucer's epic book, conductor Peter Phillips and the Netherlands Chamber Choir will perform the most beautiful madrigals and motets from that time. A programme interwoven with newly written miniature compositions by the English composer William Knight.

In What We Trust - I Solisti & Vlaams Radiokoor

What will the world of tomorrow look like? What do faith and meaning mean today? These are hot topics now that our future is under pressure from all sides. The wind players of I Solisti, regular guests at the Muziekgebouw, will present a programme on contemporary questions together with the Flemish Radio Choir. In addition to the irresistibly grand 'Mass in E' by Anton Bruckner – a deeply religious man – a new work by Frederik Neyrinck, artist in residence of I Solisti, will be heard. Poet Maud Vanhauwaert guarantees a compelling script.

Oded Tzur Quartet

New York-based saxophonist Oded Tzur has transformed his sound into what The Guardian describes as a "unique tenor sax whisper." Tzur refers to this development in his playing and tone as a ten-year deep dive that has established him as one of the leading figures in spiritual jazz. According to the New York City Jazz Record, his music is like an interactive prayer that can move in any direction.

American Roots - Nederlands Blazers Ensemble

The Netherlands Wind Ensemble (NBE) delves deep into the heart of American music. Together with Native American singer Charly Lowry, musical phenomenon and descendant of the Tuscarora Indian Nation, the NBE searches for the beauty of Native American culture. 'We are the land' is the fundamental premise of that culture, in which people feel at one with nature.

Yoràn Vroom Group of Friends ft. Mehdi Nassouli

With Group Of Friends, Yoràn Vroom presents his own work from his albums 'Across A Spectrum” (2021) and 'A Forgotten Story' (2023). The music of 'Across A Spectrum' is mainly about the richness of Caribbean culture, to which the musicians give their own view with collective improvisation as a common denominator.

Benjamin Herman ft. Sean Payne & Miguel Valente

In October 2024, it will be 13 years since Piet Noordijk passed away. From Rotterdam pubs to large halls with the Metropole Orchestra, he held them in his grip with his effervescent saxophone playing, making him one of the trendsetters of Dutch jazz. 3 excellent alto saxophonists – Benjamin Herman, Sean Payne and Miguel Valente – pay tribute to their famous colleague, accompanied by pianist Francesca Tandoi, double bassist Matheus Nicolaiewsky and drummer Sander Smeets during this 4th edition of the European Alto Festival.

Vera Morais & Hristo Goleminov | Federico Calcagno Octet

In this double concert, Bimhuis presents young, promising improvisers who will perform new work.

Ach, dass ich Wassers gnug hätte

Songs that search for points of light in the darkness between complaint, regret and hope are so beautiful. Countertenor Maarten Engeltjes and PRJCT Amsterdam show this. The press praises PRJCT Amsterdam for 'roundness of tone and flexibility in sound' (Forum Opéra) and as a great pleasure'. 'Virtuoso', Trouw wrote about Engeltjes. And if anyone could mourn in music and offer comfort, it was Bach.

Ahmet Aslan

Turkish musician Ahmet Aslan creates a sound world of timeless beauty in which you can completely immerse yourself. He achieves this partly with his voice, which sounds robust and warm but can also reach high notes in a moving way. He also shines on his own string instrument, the Di-Tar, a cross between a classical guitar, a flamenco guitar and a bağlama (string instrument).

Fenix

The atmospheric music of Fenix takes you on a musical tow rope. This electronic-acoustic band playfully alternates catchy melodies and irresistible grooves. Together they play a colorful landscape of music that arises in the moment. No performance sounds the same because this band loves to improvise. What is predictable: their music makes you move!
