4 May Remembrance day - The Remembrance Concert

Spinvis and Flothuis

This year, Entrée, the youth association of Het Concertgebouw and the Concertgebouworkest, is organizing a special commemoration evening. In addition to the music of Spinvis, the work of Marius Flothuis is central. As a composer and resistance fighter, Flothuis was imprisoned in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp during the Second World War. Even in captivity, he continued to compose and gave music a voice where words failed. His inspiring story is shared by presenter and journalist Margriet Vroomans.

Just like in the rest of the Netherlands, there will be a 2-minute silence at 8:00 PM in the Concertgebouw. After the silence, Spinvis, together with the young talents of the Concertgebouw Orchestra, will take you on an impressive musical experience.
