12 Ensemble performs Metamorphosis

After an impressive concert during our season opening, London’s 12 Ensemble will come back with Metamorphosis: from the miraculous nature of transformation to Strauss’ monumental elegy to lost beauty. Performed within an immersive dreamworld of live visuals created by Art Director Ben Ditto. 

The pieces 12 Ensemble decided on for Metamorphosis find their inspiration in the transformation of all forms. They explore Renaissance hymn reborn as futuristic prayer, ancient Japanese ritual, and otherworldly operatic arias. Strauss’ iconic Metamorphosen is at the heart of the almost never performed cult classic Zipangu from Claud Vivier. The 12 Ensemble will be immersed in a true dreamworld through visuals created by art director Ben Ditto.  

Last chance: photo exhibition NEIGHBOURS

Visit NEIGHBOURS before, during, or after your concert at de Doelen. This photo exhibition in the Grote Zaal Foyer welcomes de Doelen’s neighbours from the Oude Westen neighborhood.

Café Marseille, pet store De Rimboe, and ice cream shop De Ijssalon set the scene for a lively area where residents of all ages and styles come together. Photographer Robin Utrecht and creative producer Mieke van der Linden shine a spotlight on this diversity with a series of portraits. Utrecht, known for his work during Lunchbreak concerts and royal state visits, shows in this series that ordinary people are anything but ordinary.
