Bram van Sambeek + Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra Bassoon concerts

Music and drinks In Dutch Sounds we offer an English pre-concert talk with drinks in a comfortable and informal setting. And afterwards you can enjoy a post-concert chat with drinks, to get to know other English-speaking city dwellers.

The Dutch bassoonist Bram van Sambeek, awarded with the prestigious Nederlandse Muziekprijs, is so gifted that the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Centre in New York included him in its own select group of chamber musicians.

This evening Bram and the Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra will evoke echoes of Haydn and Mozart in a bassoon concert of Weber.

They will also be playing Otmar Nussio’s virtuoso Variations on an arietta by Pergolesi.

Pre-talk theme: the unique sound of Bram van Sambeek.
