Klaus Mäkelä and Janine Jansen with the Concertgebouw Orchestra

Wed, Jan 22, 2025, 20:15

Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)

Concertgebouw Orchestra, Klaus Mäkelä (Conductor), Janine Jansen (Violin)

Conductor Klaus Mäkelä says that a concert is like a journey through time. The composers featured on this programme were clearly inspired by older music. Robert Schumann had just suffered a nervous breakdown when he wrote his Second Symphony, a work in which he documents his recovery and overtly draws on the music of Bach, Haydn and Beethoven.Benjamin Britten’s music, in which the influence of older English masters is always palpable, is also in dialogue with the past. His Violin Concerto juxtaposes tradition with present-day circumstances: the year was 1939, and the threat of war imminent. With her extraordinary aptitude for capturing mood and atmosphere, violinist Janine Jansen is the perfect interpreter.Klaus Mäkelä says, ‘In Schumann’s music I always feel an aspect of the past, tradition, history. Britten too admired tradition. We make a combination with works from the 17th century by Purcell and Dowland, to prepare the atmosphere of the later works by Britten and Schumann, which contain the past. I think the music benefits from it. The cathedral-like, almost sacred atmosphere of Dowland and Purcell enhances those aspects in Schumann and Britten, putting their works in a different light.’

Concertgebouw Orchestra Annual Gala with Klaus Mäkelä

Fri, Jan 24, 2025, 20:30

Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)

Concertgebouw Orchestra, Klaus Mäkelä (Conductor), Janine Jansen (Violin)

The Concertgebouw Orchestra presents its festive Annual Gala concert for loyal audience members, friends, and donors. The Annual Gala starts with a reception at 19.30, and the fashionable after-party goes on until midnight.Dress code: black tie.Guests are welcomed to a reception at 19.30, after which they will be ushered into the Main Hall for a uniquely memorable conducted by our artistic partner and future chief conductor, Klaus Mäkelä. Leading violinist Janine Jansen performs as soloist in Britten’s deeply moving Violin Concerto, the work with which she made her Concertgebouw Orchestra debut twenty years ago.The Concerto is preceded on the programme by the royal funeral march by Britten’s predecessor Purcell. Another well-known English lament from long ago opens Schumann’s deceptively sunny Second Symphony. Like Britten’s music, Schumann’s is also in dialogue with the past. Klaus Mäkelä says, ‘A concert is a journey. The cathedral-like, almost sacred atmosphere of Purcell enhances those aspects in Schumann and Britten, putting their works in a different light.’After the concert, you are invited to partake in the tantalising follow-up programmes in the foyers of the Concertgebouw. There will be ample opportunity to mingle with other guests, the conductor, soloists, and choir and orchestra members until midnight.

DeWolff

Thu, Jan 30, 2025, 20:15

Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)

DeWolff

DeWolff are a young Hammond/guitar/drums three-piece from The Netherlands making an explosive mix of electrified southern bluesrock with a dash of soul and psychedelica. They are some of the meanest, energetic, road-hardened and virtuosic musicians around and have been playing together for half their lives. Now, still in their mid twenties, they have already released 9 studio albums (7 of which hit the Dutch Top 20), 3 lIn May 2024 DeWolff travelled to Muscle Shoals, Alabama to record their 10th studio album with Grammy Award winning producer Ben Tanner at two legendary studios: FAME and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. Heroes like Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, Little Richard, the Stones, Leon Russell, the Black Keys and hundreds of other legendary artists recorded world-renowned albums at these studios. 'You can really feel some kind of rock 'n roll magic in the air there. Right when we played our first notes there I got goosebumps: here was that sound I've been hearing on all those classic albums! This definitely was one of the best recording experiences we've ever had. Even the grand piano Leon Russell used was still there, just like the electric Wurlitzer piano that was used on I Never Loved A Man by Aretha Franklin!; says Pablo van de Poel. It will come as no surprise that this 10th DeWolff album shows influences of the rich musical history that was literally written in those same studios 50 years ago. But still, DeWolff will alway s sound like DeWolff: a fiery wayward steam engine blasting right through its own time zone, leaving you spellbound andspeechless at the crossroads of blues, soul, psychedelic and southern rock, with a Dutch twist.
