About the Event
Les Dames Vocales, founded in 2020, opens this anniversary year with a passion concert. Central to this concert is the specially arranged interpretation of Franz Liszt's Via Crucis. This universally beloved work for the Passion period will sound in a surprising version for women's choir and bajan, a further development of the accordion. With the young talented bajanist Robbrecht van Cauwenberghe, Les Dames Vocales has once again found an exceptional accompanist.
Les Dames Vocales is an Amsterdam project ensemble for female voices. The singers are all experienced and often already sing in mixed choirs or other ensembles. But the love for the beautiful repertoire and the special vocal sound peculiar to the combination of high voices brings these musicians together in this challenging ensemble. In a relatively short time we work to the highest possible level. The ensemble has a broad taste: basically all classical repertoire suitable for our composition, starting from early medieval music to contemporary.
Because of his virtuosity and unique instrument, Robbrecht van Cauwenberghe is regularly asked for concerts and music theater productions at home and abroad. He has recently been heard in venues including the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Festspielhaus Baden‐Baden, Philharmonie Luxembourg, Wiener Konzerthaus, Bach Festival Dordrecht, Ghent Festival of Flanders, International Chamber Music Festival Utrecht and in various Dutch concert halls and theaters. In the summer of 2021, he debuted as soloist with the Stift Festival Orchestra with the double concerto Sieben Worte (Sofia Gubaidulina) alongside cellist David Cohen.
