Amore qui fai?!
Suspirium ensemble
In our Italian baroque programme, we alternate swinging love songs with cantatas by for example Scarlatti or Porpora. Songs for only voice and lute by Caccini are mixed with grooving songs by Frescobaldi and Sances – all about love and its struggles, of course. They are built around a longer cantata (15’00) by Scarlatti or Porpora, in which affects of love, love sickness or jealousy are central. All Italian temperament!
Views from Dutch trains
Mallet Collective Duo
"Views from Dutch Trains" is an inspiring musical project that highlights the social and environmental impact of train travel in the Netherlands. Organized by Mallet Collective, this project combines the power of music with the message of sustainable mobility. By recording a CD of new Dutch compositions, the project translates the experience of train travel into a musical journey that calls for a more environmentally conscious lifestyle.
The album ‘Views from Dutch trains’ is coming out on September 20th 2025 and will be presented that evening in Kunstkerk Dordrecht.
Watwerworks
Mallet Collective
Waterworks, a Mallet Collective project composed by Aart Strootman, is more than just an artistic performance in an unusual space such as a swimming pool where the audience can listen floating with their ears underwater, but also hear a "different" concert from the water's edge.
We will preview the piece on 15th of June in Theatre de Flint and will play 6 concerts @September ME festival on 27th of september
Songs of the Earth ALBUM
Dirty Projectors x S T A R G A Z E
David Longstreth’s Song of the Earth, a song cycle for orchestra and voices, is released on 4 April 2025 via Nonesuch/New Amsterdam Records in the US and Transgressive Records for the rest of the world. Performed by Longstreth with his band Dirty Projectors - Felicia Douglass, Maia Friedman, Olga Bell - and the Berlin-based chamber orchestra s t a r g a z e, the album also features Phil Elverum (Mount Eerie), Steve Lacy, Patrick Shiroishi, Anastasia Coope, Tim Bernardes, Ayoni, Portraits of Tracy, and the author David Wallace-Wells.
Longstreth says that while Song of the Earth, “is not a ‘climate change opera,” he wanted to “find something beyond sadness: beauty spiked with damage. Acknowledgement flecked with hope, irony, humour, rage.”
