One more time Das Wohltemperierte Klavier
During the last few months, the Concertzender has been featuring Johann Sebastian Bach's Wohltemperierte Klavier. 
In three programmes in our series The piano studio Willem
Brons and Annemiek Klijberg presented a detailed anaylsis of the first
part of this major work. This was followed by Bach ad Infinitum that featured a new recording of both parts by Geoffrey Madge in their broadcasts in
May and June.
The Concertzender is to take one final look at Geoffrey Madge's
version with an analysis of the use of tension and release in each part
of the work. On Thursday 4 and 11 August from 19:00 to 22:00 CET we
will be broadcasting a recording of both parts interspersed by extracts
from the lectures given by Geoffrey Madge before the performances.
Broadcasts: Concertzender Live, Thursday 4 and 11 August, 19:00 - 22:00 CET

Panorama de Leeuw XXI: Schönberg Ensemble
Thea Derks, the biographer of Reinbert de Leeuw, is tracing his musical career in her series Panorama de Leeuw.
The series has reached 1974, the year in which
the Schönberg
Ensemble was formed by the students of the Royal Conservatory in The
Hague to prepare for a performance of Pierrot Lunaire
by Arnold Schönberg. Schönberg had composed this revolutionary piece in
1912 for the actress Albertine Zehme. Schönberg introduced a new style
of singing in this work called Sprechgesang,
a form somewhere between speech and singing,
in order to avoid the
echoing delivery generally associated with classical opera singing.
Fassbinder
The Schönberg Ensemble was increasingly successful and performed the
piece many times with different singers but Henk Guittart knew
the
moment that he heard the German actress Barbara Sukowa singing in
a film by Rainer
Werner Fassbinder that she was the one that he wanted to perform Pierrot Lunaire.

Radiodelodio: radioLAB and radioKAST during the Utrecht Uitfeest and the Gaudeamus Muziekweek
The Concertzender is back in September with some more
workshops. These workshops give children of 8 years and older the
opportunity to make their
own radio programmes. On Sunday 4 September
we will be at the Ganzen-
markt in Utrecht during the Utrecht Uitfeest
and on 10 September the
radioLAB will be in TivoliVredenburg during the
Gaudeamus Muziekweek.
What is involved in making a radio programme? The radioLAB
workshops offer the opportunity to introduce and play music and to
perform interviews. The workshop focusses on the interviews but also
offers the opportunity to hear and discuss some unusual music. You can
also choose to work as a recording engineer.
Interview sound artist Dianne Verdonk!
Sound artist Dianne Verdonk is presenting her
new sound object called Bellyhorn during the Gaudeamus Muziekweek in September. The participants in the radioLAB
workshops will be
able to interview Dianne and ask her questions about
her work. And of course you will be able
to experience Bellyhorn and appreciate what it is that makes it so special!
