PRJCT Amsterdam gives a personal touch to Pergolesi’s famous and devastating Stabat. P.F. Thomèse will read from his book Schaduwkind, which, like the Stabat Mater, is about the loss of a child. 

Like an overture, Vivaldi's pieces sound like fate and doom. That sets the tone for Pergolesi, who based on the Stabat Mater text made a human tragedy rather than a glorification of the divine: 'the deeply grieved mother, stood weeping by the cross, while her son hung there.' Schaduwkind by P.F. Thomèse is exactly about that loss of a child - his own daughter. Thomèse recites several passages from his book.
