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

Brahms and women: this is a chapter in itself. The composer was notorious for abruptly ending relationships, and the woman in question often found her way into his music. In this case, it was the singer and short-time fiancée Agathe von Siebold. In his String Sextet, Brahms immortalized her name – a yearning call with the notes A–G–A–D–H–E.

Dvořák & Brahms

The Baden-Baden Casino

Whenever an important statesperson is buried in the USA, Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings is played. It is one of the best-known works of classical music – and will be presented here together with the equally popular Clair de Lune. To conclude the program, a four-movement masterpiece: Dvořák's legendary "American" String Quartet.
