In this hectic corona time, solidarity with each other is a great loss. With this special program, the South Netherlands Philharmonic is reflecting on the collective emotions and experiences that have been the order of the day in recent times.

We all still recognize the collective chaos, insecurity and the feeling of unease at the beginning of the corona crisis. This concert is all about that chaos. The French baroque composer Rebel, for example, sketches a world without order with great guts and energy. The new composition by Aart Strootman is also special. We asked him to write a personal reflection on the current crisis time. This is expressed in a fascinating work for a 1.5 meter orchestra.

In addition, master pianist Dejan Lazić Webers performs sparkling piano music. And, last but not least, Haydn’s 60th Symphony, which is not called “Il Distratto” (the scattered) for nothing. It is as if you hear an absent-minded musician who carelessly puts all his ideas on paper. Transparent music to lick your fingers, as you are used to from your South Netherlands Philharmonic.

“His poetic, shapely lines and vibrant dynamic effects make his music fresh, spontaneous and passionate”
New York Times about Dejan Lazić

“Piano virtuoso, master arranger and composer. Lazić has the whole package in house ”
Mark van de Voort, Zuiderlucht

Here is a piece from Dejan Lazić:
