In this performance, the Concertgebouworkest, conducted by Antony Hermus, presents Bram Kortekaas's new commissioned work, Notenkrakers' notulen. Inspired by the intense discussions of the 'Notenkrakers' group from the 1970s, the piece brings to life the spirit of artistic rebellion and musical innovation. Drawing from heated debates about the artistic direction of the orchestra, Notenkrakers' notulen incorporates the essence of these historical moments while offering a contemporary musical response. Featuring Katrien Baerts (soprano), the piece explores the tension between tradition and innovation, creating a dynamic, multi-layered work that reflects the rich history of Dutch music while pushing its boundaries forward.
