Conductor

From July 27 to August 3, 2024, the Collegium Vocale Crete Senesi festival presents a diverse program of seventeen concerts in the picturesque setting of Tuscany. Organizer Philippe Herreweghe, in collaboration with the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, features chamber music performances showcasing the finest repertoire. In 2022, Antwerp Symphony's brass ensemble captivated audiences with a masterful rendition of Bach's iconic Goldberg Variations at AMUZ, uniquely reimagined for brass quintet by American composer Arthur Frackenpohl. This festival sees the quintet once again shining with this almost mythical variation series.

Collegium Vocale Crete Senesi 2024

This ensemble is a true cult favorite. When the brass players of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra gather around trumpeter Reinhold Friedrich and trombonist Jörgen van Rijen to form a brass band, the atmosphere reaches fever pitch in no time at all. All the more so at this summer’s appearance, which is devoted to the theme of “American Dreams.” Gershwin's Strike Up the Band injects an irresistible jolt of swing and high spirits.
