Chamber Music

Georgina and the Dutch soprano Lara Diamand have got two new concert programmes; INSPIRED BY CHANGE and DIERENLIEDJES (ANIMAL SONGS).


The first programme INSPIRED BY CHANGE is a full recital. It is based on American 20th century music. Lara and Georgina let the audience hear the mutual influence of light and classical music in this period. They show this music to be more accessible than many listeners would initially expect. Many American classical composers were influenced by the up and coming jazz style of the thirties and wrote Broadway hits along side serious orchestral and chamber music. INSPIRED BY CHANGE takes the listener from the classical songs and piano pieces by Copland and Crumb, via the lighter music by Rorem to a short theatrical song cycle by Bernstein. Finally, the well known jazzy music by Gershwin is performed. In short, this is a programme where the audience can thoroughly enjoy the diversity in styles that the 20th century American music has to offer.

Three Moods - A. Copland

The second programme DIERENLIEDJES (ANIMAL SONGS) is a family concert for everyone. Young and old can indulge in the songs about the porcupine, the nightingale, Sebastian the spider and the giraffe from Maastricht with his dislocated leg! Songs by Röntgen, Fauré and Schubert, and text by writers, including Annie M.G. Schmidt, let everyboby dream away into the wonderous world of the animals. A lovely concert on a sunday afternoon in the park, during a trip to the zoo or on an afternoon in the library. The programme lasts for 30 minutes.
