Noord Nederlands Orkest: Metamorphoses

A STROLL THROUGH FIVE DIFFERENT WORLDS

Especially for Explore the North, the philharmonic orchestra, Noord Nederlands Orkest, has brought three leading soloists to the Westerkerk. They will be playing (extremely complex) solo pieces, all entirely distinct in nature. Metamorphoses is about recognition and estrangement, embrace and warmth, alienation and illusion..

The pieces that the soloists will be playing are:

Soft Song by Ton Bruynel performed by Justine Gerretsen, hobo

Ballade from Sonate no.3 by Eugène Ysaÿe performed by Eeva Koskinen, violin

In Freundschaft by Karl Heinz Stockhausen performed by Hanka Clout, clarinet

3 Metamorphoses (from 6 Metamorphoses) by Benjamin Britten performed by Justine Gerretsen

Chaconne by Johann Sebastian Bach performed by Eeva Koskinen, violin
