The Elements - DProject Orchestra

Experience the world premiere of The Elements, alongside Barber’s impressive Adagio for Strings. 

An ensemble of 19 young top talents from different conservatories brings these two extraordinary works together in an immersive musical experience.

🎻 Samuel Barber – Adagio for Strings

One of the most moving and beloved works for string orchestra, allowing the full power and emotion of the strings to shine through.

🌍 Marnix Willem Steffen – Suite The Elements

A new composition in which Earth, Fire, Air, Water and Ether come to life through music. Composer and conductor Marnix Willem Steffen takes the audience on a musical journey—from the dark depths of the earth and the untamed power of fire to the stillness of air and the refreshing flow of water.

A special role is played by Crystal Singing Bowls, performed by Peruvian artist Sons de Samay. Their enchanting sounds give the music a unique, almost magical dimension. Specially designed colored lighting also brings the different elements to life visually.

DProject Orchestra brings this world premiere to life with young top musicians from various conservatories. The orchestra is known for innovative concert formats in which classical and contemporary music come together in a fresh and contemporary way. Their performance during the Amsterdam Marathon went viral on social media, bringing them widespread international recognition.

A special afternoon filled with new sounds, striking visuals and vibrant musical energy.
