About event
The Netherlands Chamber Orchestra plays Beethoven's dynamic Triple Concerto with not one, but three soloists opposite the orchestra. After the break, Mahler's orchestral vision of Schubert's most moving chamber music will be heard: he arranged Schubert's string quartet Der Tod und das Mädchen for string orchestra, taking the necessary liberty.
Anniversary season!
We have something special to celebrate. In the 2025-2026 season, the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra will blow out no fewer than seventy candles. The concert on Saturday, October 18 is the festive opening of this special anniversary season.
Beethoven's Triple Concerto
One soloist was not enough for Beethoven when he composed his Triple Concerto. He was one of the few who dared to combine the 'three kings' of instruments - violin, cello and piano - and merge them with each other and the orchestra. The three soloists are cellist Quirine Viersen, pianist Alasdait Beatson and musical director of the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra Gordan Nikolić on violin. The result is a wonderful, very varied and always fascinating concerto for piano trio and orchestra.
Cellist Quirine Viersen
The slow movement, with a major role for Quirine Viersen's cello, is truly beautiful and the catchy themes of the first and last movements compete to see which one is hummed most during the break.
Gustav Mahler was fond of Franz Schubert's chamber music. He wanted to play it in the large concert halls. Mahler thought this would require some tinkering, because music for 'the room' is simply different in nature from concert music. We now hear Schubert's moving 14th string quartet Der Tod und das Mädchen through the ears of Gustav Mahler.
