85 years Andriessen
On July 1, 2021, Louis Andriessen, one of the greatest composers of the Netherlands, passed away. Ensemble I SOLISTI pays tribute to the master, not only through his own works but also recognizing his significant influence as an educator on the international music scene. The program features music by Andriessen himself, as well as a composition by Martijn Padding, a student, colleague, and above all, a close friend of Andriessen, who created an In Memoriam piece. Together, they provide a multi-layered portrait of the man who would have turned 85 this year.
Graal Théâtre
With the title Graal Théâtre Kaija Saariaho refers to the legend of King Arthur, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table. Metaphorically, she was also inspired by the quest for the Holy Grail. The eponymous book by Jacques Roubaud prompted her to do something that had seemed impossible for a long time: to write a violin concerto, a genre that "already boasts so many moving and brilliant masterpieces." With her tender language, she does justice to both motifs.
WE DENKEN DE WERELD
We Denken De Wereld is a music theatre production where an apparently mundane correspondence develops into a (possible) guide for life.
Egmont
The beheading of Count Egmont, over 450 years ago, marked the beginning of the Eighty Years' War. Two centuries later, Goethe and Beethoven honored the rebellious count. In this historical music theater production, Het Banket, I SOLISTI, and Vlaams Radiokoor explore how Egmont evolved into a symbol of reason and tolerance. A must-see for music enthusiasts with a passion for history.
