If that’s not real love! Wagner composed the Siegfried Idyll as a birthday present for his wife Cosima. He woke her that morning with a small orchestra. Elim Chan conducts the work during this Livestream Concert Love. So enjoy this intimate love music at home, just like Cosima. A wish comes true for star violinist Simone Lamsma. Earlier we welcomed her as a soloist in large romantic violin concertos. Now she asked, “Would I maybe this time …?” “Of course, I’d love to,” we immediately said. Because when Simone Lamsma plays her favorite music, something special is going to happen. With Mozart’s sparkling First Violin Concerto she sings about her love for the classics.

Conductor: Elim Chan
Violin: Simone Lamsma
With the cooperation of Ramon Wolkenfelt (trumpet) and Andries Boelens

The concert will be broadcasted via Concert in Huis. Concert in Huis is the new livestream platform of classicnl and founding partners Amsterdam Sinfonietta, philharmonie zuidnederland and Residentie Orkest The Hague. Due to the corona measures, it is by no means always possible to enjoy concerts as an audience, while many people do feel that need. We have therefore developed the Concert in Huis platform especially for you, where you can attend concerts by top Dutch orchestras live from your living room and for a small fee. Because many ensembles and orchestras are in dire straits due to the corona problems and desperately need our support, you can choose how high that fee is, € 5, € 10 or € 15.

NOTE: this livestream is broadcast in 8D audio sound. Choose this if you are listening to the concert with earphones or headphones on. You then imagine yourself in the middle of the concert hall! Do you listen through the boxes of your computer, telephone, laptop or tablet? Then choose the stream with stereo sound.
