The 17 Balcony Composers Immortalized
Well-known melodies are heard alongside unknown gems. Soprano Anna Prohaska will be singing songs by Richard Strauss, Diepenbrock, Reger and Ravel. The instrumental works on the programme include Debussy’s Danse profane, with a leading role for principal harpist Anneleen Schuitemaker, and Mahler’s Blumine, and the Trepak from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker. It’s a unique programme full of historical connections with The Concertgebouw and the orchestra.
