Romsey Winterfest 2026
Concerts and masterclass with Goethe String Quartet. Repertoire including works by Ravel, Alberga, Bartok, and Brahms.
Metamorphosen - IJ-Salon
Performance and talk about Strauss - Metamorphosen with cellist Izak Hudnik and members of Concertgebouw Amsterdam.
“Metamorphosen” is not only the title of one of the most important poetry collections of Roman antiquity, but also of one of Richard Strauss’s final works. Cellist and philosopher Izak Hudnik places metamorphoses at the center of his dialogue between music and philosophy. He says of this: “Music is a kind of aesthetic catalyst. It reflects on our way of life and evokes shared emotions.”
Hear & Now Festival Amsterdam
This year, we delve into the world of Karol Szymanowski and explore the connection between his music and today's repertoire. The festival welcomes some of the most promising young musicians of the moment. In addition to returning audience favorites such as cellist Rainer Crosett, we look forward to the arrival of cellist Ella van Pouke, pianist Ramon van Engelenhoven, and harpist Joost Willemze, among others.

Die Lange Nacht der Zukunftseuphorie
Konzert mit dem Tonhain Kollektiv
Das junge Kammermusik-Kollektiv hat sich mit seiner Konzertreihe im ehemaligen Lichtspielhaus „Tonhain“ in der Thorwaldsenstraße schnell einen Ruf als abenteuerlustiges und hochqualitatives Ensemble erspielt. Ihre interdisziplinären Konzertformate untersuchen den Puls der Zeit und unserer Gesellschaft und setzen neue Maßstäbe für Kammermusik. Mit „Future Serenity“ (Zukunfts-Gelassenheit) stellen sie die Frage nach der Zukunft in der Kammermusik: Werke von Philip Glass, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ben Nobuto und mehr weisen den Weg in einen Rausch, der nach Vorne strebt – und dabei vielleicht mehr Fragen als Antworten auf das Morgen gibt!
