Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra | Ton Koopman

Date & Time
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 20:00
Bei Ton Koopman ist Bach in kompetenten Händen: Der niederländische Dirigent und Cembalist gilt als die Koryphäe der historischen Bach-Aufführungspraxis. Wenn er mit seinem Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra die Brandenburgischen Konzerte anstimmt, wird deutlich, was lebendiges Musizieren bedeutet.»Bach ist für mich der genialste Komponist der Musikgeschichte!«, sagt Ton Koopman »Was mich bei Bach berührt, ist die enorme Balance zwischen Gefühl und Verstand – seine Musik geht direkt ins Herz. Ein Tag ohne Bach ist für mich unvorstellbar!« Bachs Brandenburgische Konzerte gelten... Read full text

Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra / Ton Koopman

Mon, Jun 23, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir, Hana Blažíková (Soprano), Alex Potter (Alto), Tilman Lichdi (Tenor), Klaus Mertens (Bass), Ton Koopman (Conductor)
Wait a moment, these are the first sounds of the »Christmas oratorio« which starts this concert in the middle of summer! Yes and no: Johann Sebastian Bach often ›recycled‹ his own music and used pieces he considered particularly successful, repeatedly in very different works. Ton Koopman, expert in historical Bach performance practice, has selected three secular cantatas by the Baroque master, which celebrate name-days and birthdays of the Saxon elector prince family and include so many well-known arias and chants. On these occasions, Bach did not set to music any sacred, but secular texts. Characters from classical mythology appear here, convey good wishes to the gods and praise them. For the composer, these compositions which were performed in the open air in beer gardens in summer and in coffee houses in the winter are part of his Leipzig engagements. Two of the cantatas even bear the subheading »Dramma per Musica« – festive miniature operas with virtuoso arias, studded with outstanding soloists. Ton Koopman, who is giving his Elbphilharmonie debut with this concert, is, with his Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir, one of the world’s best Bach interpreters, awarded with numerous prizes. The conductor, organist and harpsichordist fully dedicated himself to the composer: »To me, Bach is the most brilliant composer in the history of music! What affects me with Bach is the tremendous balance between sense and sensibility – his music goes straight to the heart. A day without Bach is inconceivable to me!«

Thu, Mar 6, 2025, 20:15
Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)
Concertgebouw Orchestra, Bas Wiegers (Conductor), Tania Kross (Mezzo-Soprano), Miriam Pastor Burgos (Oboe)
Amsterdam has been harbouring outside influences for 750 years. Amsterdam is a city of many voices, a polyphony that is echoed in its music. In Theo Verbey’s Notturno, a world of music resonates in an Amsterdam stairwell. Tania Kross sings fifty-year-old songs in which the more distressing sides of Amsterdam are not glossed over, while the rich culture of the Antilles resounds in a suite from Randal Corsen’s Katibu di shon, the first ever opera in Papiamentu.Greek-born composer Calliope Tsoupaki has been living and working in Amsterdam for over 35 years and was Composer Laureate of the Netherlands from 2018 to 2021. The memory of her arrival in Amsterdam inspired her newly commissioned work, Another Day, written in response to a poignant, image-rich poem by Anneke Brassinga. Conductor Bas Wiegers concludes this programme of many voices with de exciting music of Silvestre Revualtas evoking the pre-colonial Mexican landscapes and cultures.This concert will be enriched by surtitles and images by Frouke ten Velden.

Concertgebouw Orchestra: Polyphonic Amsterdam

Fri, Mar 7, 2025, 20:15
Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)

Amsterdam has been harbouring outside influences for 750 years. The more diverse the mix, the stronger the city’s character. Amsterdam is a city of many voices, a polyphony that is echoed in its music. Bas Wiegers leads the Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Netherlands Radio Choir and soloists in a unique programme of many voices. Tania Kross sings songs from several cultures, and evokes the rich culture of the Antilles in arias from Randal Corsen’s Katibu di shon, the first opera in Papiamentu. In addition, the orchestra performs a work by the Surinamese composer Eddy Vervuurt (1928-1988) and three Dutch composers.In Theo Verbey’s Notturno, the whole world resonates in an Amsterdam appartment. In Louis Andriessen’s opera De stad van Dis (The City of Dis), we board the Ship of Fools and enter a hellish city, one of water and fire. Andriessen was an inspiring composition teacher, drawing young composers from all over the world to Keizersgracht in Amsterdam for lessons. Some stayed on to further enrich musical life here, such as the former Composer Laureate of the Netherlands Calliope Tsoupaki, a citizen of Amsterdam since 1988. This programme features her newly commissioned Another Day, based on a poem by Anneke Brassinga.This concert will be enriched by surtitles and images by Frouke ten Velden

Led by Candida Thompson, Amsterdam Sinfonietta brings together 23 gifted chamber musicians, embodying ensemble-playing at the highest level. Nostalgia for Italy runs through this evening: „The sun shines in all its splendour… at last, I feel a magical change within me,“ Tchaikovsky wrote while visiting the Italian city of Florence. „Souvenir de Florence“ is a tribute to the city he adored, music brimming over with love and joy. The young pianist Bruce Liu, who won first prize at the Chopin Competition in 2021, makes his debut with Amsterdam Sinfonietta, performing works by Chopin – his second piano concerto and the virtuosic Polonaise brillante – both in versions for piano and string orchestra.

Baroque soloists "fattoamano"

Sun, Feb 18, 2024, 17:00
Harmonie (Bamberg)
Angela Stangorra (Baroque violins), Sabine Lier (Baroque violins), Verena Obermayer (Cello), Ralf Waldner (Harpsichord)
In earlier times, anyone who gave their Opus 1 to print sent out a clear signal: They had completed their musical apprenticeship and the time had come to present their first works to the public. At the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, it was customary to present trio sonatas for two violins and basso continuo in such an opus 1. The Roman violin master Arcangelo Corelli did this in 1681, as did many of his colleagues.The baroque soloists of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra fattoamano will present a small selection of these opus 1 trio sonatas.
