Genius Musical Friends
After the successful series about Hummel programme
maker/presenter Thijs Bonger starts a new series on Tuesday 3rd April
2018 between 19.00 and 20.00 CET: Genius Musical Friends.
Even before they actually met Haydn was a shining model for the 24
year younger Mozart. Haydn was already famous and Mozart was just
beginning his career. Following Haydn's example, Mozart wrote a
symphony full of strong emotions, a symphony which became famous
through the film ‘Amadeus’.
Haydn's equally passionate symphony which inspired Mozart is now
never heard. Haydn's string quartets also made such an impression on
Mozart that he himself wrote some. Programme maker/presenter Thijs
Bonger sought out what Haydn and Mozart meant for each other. That has
led to a new series of programmes.
Broadcast: Tuesday 3 April and subsequently every 1st Tuesday of the month at 19:00 CET on the Concertzender.

Panorama de Leeuw: Holland Festival #2
EEvery first Wednesday of the month Thea Derks follows the musical trail of Reinbert de Leeuw on the basis of her biography Reinbert de Leeuw, mens of melodie. In April she continues her survey of his work at the Holland Festival.
In the previous episode
you could listen to music by various composers including Franz Schreker
and Steve Reich. These were recordings of concerts from the Holland
Festival, where Reinbert de Leeuw was a regular guest from the
mid-60's. Not only as pianist and composer but also as conductor.
He was involved in 1966 with the famous multimedia spectacle Labyrint by Peter Schat and his own graphically notated Music for Piano II. In this the piano was played with flat hands and the elbows, so that mostly clusters of notes were heard.

Festival 2017 with music by Telemann. It's the concerts Telemann Solos: Fantasias for Flute by Rachel Brown and the Fabulous Fringeconcert with Suites by Telemann performed by The New Baroque Orchestra.
Telemann Solo's: Fantasias for Flute
The 12 Fantasias for flute by Georg Philipp Telemann are feats of
finesse, variation, contrast and invention. Each Fantasia has its own
key and its own atmosphere. An outstanding opportunity for the flute to
present itself in different colours. The Brit Rachel Brown plays
traverso.
Fabulous Fringeconcert: Suites by Telemann
The New Baroque Orchestra was fomed in 2015 by young musicians from
the European Union Baroque Orchestra. The orchestra devotes itself to
