Nederlands Blazers Ensemble
With Richard Strauss and Arnold Schönberg, the NBE deals with love: the romantic desire and the confrontation with harsh reality. The light, graceful Serenade and the more elaborate Suite of a young Strauss stand opposite Schönberg's penetrating Verklärte Nacht, a musical rendition of a nocturnal confession full of guilt, forgiveness and inner transformation.
For the first time, the NBE plays a full program with only blowers. Strauss in his original line-up and Schönberg translates to brass by Geert van Keulen means chamber music at the highest level. An exciting search for new colours and for what lies hidden behind the original orchestrations. Flemish writer Maud Vanhauwaert translates the story of Verklärte Nacht into the present. With playful, perceptive observations and unexpected twists, she makes love and vulnerability tangible.
45 minutes before the start, an introduction will be given by Brandt Attema, artistic director, together with guests from the program. You can reserve a seat for this free of charge during the ordering process.
