Unfortunately, this concert has already taken place. But not to worry! We will be playing many more concerts soon.
Immerse yourself in an enchanting evening of music and love, embraced by the city. Take a seat in the park among your fellow city dwellers, and discover how light-hearted, dramatic and flirtatious classical music can be. The Zuiderpark Summer Concert brings all of The Hague together.
Today the park is dedicated to romance and drama. Tchaikovsky wrote his Overture fantasy about the world's most famous love couple, Romeo and Juliet. With the expansive sounds of cor anglais and violas, you can feel a restless longing awakening, while the horns, heartbreakingly sighing, let their counter voice be heard - a melody you can drown in. Before it, your heart is also happily enlightened, with the traditionally playful Hungarian sounds of Zoltán Kodály with his masterpiece Dances from Galanta and Jules Massenet's world-famous Méditation. As an opening, the vibrant Carnival by Czech grandmaster Antonín Dvořák will sound. Conductor Kerem Hasan connects generations and musical styles this evening under the sultry Hague summer sky.
The Zuiderpark Summer Concert is part of Symphony 2030 - RO in the city, an initiative of the Residentie Orkest. Under the banner RO in the city, the orchestra introduces all residents of The Hague to the power of music.
