Muziek

Rock pianist Roel van Velzen, jazz/soul pianist Ruben Hein and classical pianist Daria van den Bercken join forces in the theatre concert ‘Music & Wonders of the Beatles’! A unique show in which they ‘use’ The Beatles to showcase and celebrate the richness of music. The music of The Beatles still inspires millions, partly because John, Paul, George and Ringo dared to experiment playfully with instruments and styles. Sixty years after the last Beatles tour, Daria, Roel and Ruben play on.

Surrounded by a wealth of keyboard instruments, they treat listeners to their versions of big Beatles hits, while lesser-known gems from the albums Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, The White Album and Abbey Road are stripped back and polished up anew. With fresh eyes they explore the soul, jazz, Motown and classical influences in The Beatles’ music. They are supported by drummer/guitarist Julian du Perron and Nathalie Schaap on bass and double bass.

The three pianists complement each other and tumble over one another as storytellers. ‘How come some Beatles songs are reminiscent of 19th-century music?’ and ‘What does Fats Domino have to do with The Beatles?’ The stories come to life during the concert Music & Wonders of The Beatles.

Daria’s fingers fly across the keys at dizzying speed, Roel’s and Ruben’s voices blend together and the band strikes up… Enjoy an enchanting evening at the theatre with a musical spectacle for all generations of music lovers. Or, as Lennon himself sang: ‘A splendid time is guaranteed for all!’
