De vurige geest van Enescu
'Roctet: The Fiery Spirit of Enescu'
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: This concert will take place in de Uilenburgersjoel - Nieuwe Uilenburgerstraat 91
Roctet takes you on a journey through Eastern Europe, with works by Prokofiev, Gliere, Shostakovich and, as the highlight of the concert, an exuberant and virtuoso string octet by George Enescu.
Enescu's composition stands in contrast to Felix Mendelssohn's Octet, which sets a soloistic violin part against an accompaniment of the other stringed instruments. Enescu's work on the other hand is "a genuine octet that finds its most natural expression just in its hallucinatory convergent and divergent contrapuntal voices".
Roctet is a unique ensemble. Since its founding in 2016, this energetic professional string octet has already given many dazzling concerts in various concert series at home and abroad, and also live on radio and TV.
