RO NOW


The stories behind Bruch & Mendelssohn

What do a Celtic harp, a Scottish kilt and a painting composer have in common? It all comes together in our concert RO NOW: Bruch & Mendelssohn.

Join us on a journey to Scotland! The rugged landscape made such an indelible impression on Max Bruch and Felix Mendelssohn that they had to put it to music. But why did Bruch use a harp in his Scottish fantasy? And what was Mendelssohn doing in The Hague? Presenter Christiaan Kuyvenhoven tells you more!

On Saturday, Dec. 7, go on a musical journey to Scotland narrated by composers Bruch and Mendelssohn.
