Free Heri Heri meal and subsequent song recital

On July 1, the Netherlands commemorates and celebrates the abolition of slavery in Suriname and the Antilles (Keti Koti and Dia di Abolishon). On the afternoon before, we pause and look ahead to our shared past, present and future by eating and listening together. The young Surinamese-Dutch countertenor Arturo den Hartog presents a recital with songs by Copland from his collection Old American Songs, a beautiful song cycle by Finzi on texts by Shakespeare and Surinamese traditionals. This will be preceded by a lunch with Heri Heri, a one-pan dish prepared with ingredients that the enslaved were given to eat.

A production by Muziekgebouw Productiehuis in collaboration with Theater voor Keti Koti and Free Heri Heri for All
