Brotherhood, tango, trombone, poetry and serenity: you can expect all this and much more on 22 December at Bijlmer Klassiek, that unique collaboration between the Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Bijlmer Parktheater.

Bijlmer Klassiek: Brothers

Nelson Mandela park

Schubert’s Octet, for three wind and five string instruments, was composed 200 years ago, in 1824. The instrumentation was completely new at the time. With its large-scale structure comprising six movements, the work looks ahead to subsequent developments, but the music never for a moment feels heavy, its light and lilting quality always prevailing.
