The anniversary edition of the Cello Biennale is all about the unforgettable musical moments from previous editions, which we revisit during this edition. Together with well-known soloists such as Nicolas Altstaedt and Pieter Wispelwey as well as young talents Chieko Donker Duyvis and Stefano Bruno, we look forward to this special festival edition during the opening concert. What will this festival bring and which pearls will we add to the canon of the Biënnale?
Cello Octet Amsterdam has been at every single Biennale and will show us, through compositions by Arvo Pärt and Theo Loevendie heard in previous editions, why they are the world’s longest standing cello octet. Nesrine and Chieko Donker Duyvis star with the Netherlands Wind Ensemble, which is enriched by other stringed instruments from every part of the world. The soul of singer Kris Berry is embedded into the deep trio sound of cellists Annie Tångberg and Emile Visser with bassist Mark Haanstra. Pieter Wispelwey and his student Stefano Bruno, winner of the National Cello Competition 2022, enjoy the playful cello duets by Reinhold Glière. After the Prinsengrachtconcert 2022, Nicolas Altstaedt and lutist Thomas Dunford appear as a duo once again in Amsterdam.
This concert will be broadcast live by NTR on NPO Klassiek
