No better time imaginable for Splendid Isolation. Personal initiative soprano provides unique concert in times of Corona.


Het tweede strijkkwartet van Schönberg is heel erg bekend, en veelbesproken. Het wordt alleen zelden live uitgevoerd. Het Matangi-kwartet, dat even veelzijdig als briljant is – ze speelden zelfs een tournee met Youp van ’t Hek – speelt het stuk samen met nieuw werk van Anthony Fiumara. Initiatief voor dit project komt van de sopraan Marene Elgershuizen. Zij zocht – en vond – de mogelijkheid om als maker en niet als stichting of anderszins cultureel bedrijf een nieuw werk te kunnen laten maken.

Splendid Isolation is about the happiness of loneliness, but, Elgershuizen stresses, it is best experienced together. 'It needs to be performed, because as humans we need to be able to be together'.

Als alles meezit is het zaterdag 19 en zondag 20 december mee te maken. Alle informatie via deze link .
