Disappearing for a while to a different time and place

“Brilliant. A continuous string of delights ... They play together with perfection, with beautifully articulated melodies.”

We couldn’t agree more with the Algemeen Dagblad and have invited the violinist Anastasia Kozlova and the harpist Eva Tebbe for a colourful duo recital in the Paleiskerk. They chose as the central theme for their recital a longing that overwhelms all of us from time to time: the desire to escape reality and disappear for a while to a different time and place.

 The programme includes two nostalgic salon pieces: Sea Shell by Carl Engel and Stephen Foster’s I dream of Jeanie. In Open Road, Kate Moore invites the listener to approach the unknown with an open mind.

Calliope Tsoupaki’s Thin Air, which has been performed at dozens of festivals worldwide, also expresses a generous and open spirit. The evergreens Kol Nidrei and The Lark Ascending sound like new when played on violin and harp in this fine programme for escapists.
