Over het evenement

Witness the spectacle of this sixth Biennial of Vocal Art, with all its dramatic interplay between the Baroque, the Lied and present‐day scores of Holliger and Rihm.

In setting Goethe's verses to song, Mendelssohn created a new genre: the choral ballad, later illustrated by Schumann and Brahms. After hearing The First Walpurgis Night, your reaction may be as exuberant as Berlioz': "The score has perfect clarity, despite its complexity […] One does not know which deserves the most praise in the finale -- the orchestra, the chorus, or the swirling movement they make together!"
