Sibelius & De Graaff
Unfortunately, this concert has already taken place. But not to worry! We will be playing many more concerts soon.
During this RO NOW, we serve up poetic versatility with Skrjabin's Reverie, Sibelius' iconic Fifth Symphony and the world premiere of Jan-Peter de Graaff's Concerto Metropolitain.
The evening opens with a musical translation of a dream: in Reverie, Skrjabin allows the orchestra to sing, whisper and shimmer in the most moving way. Then it is the turn of De Graaff's world premiere, Concerto Metropolitain. As a composer, De Graaff brings a tremendously physical experience to his music. In this composition, the young, dynamic Amsterdam saxophone quartet builds a sparkling sound world together with the orchestra. Finally, you will hear a spectacular masterpiece from Sibelius' symphonic repertoire: the Fifth Symphony. An ode to life and beauty after adversity.
This concert is in collaboration with Festival Dag in de Branding.
RO NOW opens your ears, widens your view and deepens your taste!
On this evening you will immerse yourself in the best symphonic music. Short & sweet. With an enlightening intro by host Christiaan Kuyvenhoven about the piece, illustrated by the orchestra with examples. That way you hear more while listening. Afterwards you can hang out in the foyer where the beers are cold. The first drink is ours!
Listen now to the first episode of RO NOW: The Podcast in which Christiaan Kuyvenhoven talks more about this concert!
