Royal Violas

Splendorian Michael Gieler proudly presents a program with two of his favorite colleagues from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. The bring some really juicy viola repertoire. Bach of course (what else?), but also Frank Bridge. The highlight will undoubtedly be a performance of William Walton's beautiful viola concerto by Santa Vizine, the solo violist of the Concertgebouw Orchestra.

J.S. Bach: Suite in C minor BWV 1011
Frank Bridge: Lament for two violins W. Walton: Concerto for viola

Michael Gieler, Santa Vizine and Martina Forni, viola

Member concert
Splendor can only be the independent and free hub that it is, thanks to the members who support us. We pay them back with our specialty: music. Every year, all Splendor musicians play one concert that's free for this crucial group to whom Splendor owes its everyday existence. Combined with many other events, this means that our members have free entrance to about 80 concerts a year for €9,99 p/m (and €4,99 p/m for minima and students!) – and receive a discount for all other concerts. Pretty good deal, right?

The members enable Splendor to remain independent, which is the only way to secure real freedom in programming, experimentation, risk-taking and the promotion of young, upcoming artists. If you can think of another place without a central programming, where last-minute concerts can be planned any moment, where there is no backstage and artists and audience are constantly mingling and hanging out at the bar, where mysterious creative outbursts can be presented that are often labeled 'too risky' elsewhere, and that still guarantees high quality by unleashing the best of The Netherlands' music scene in this creative playground – you get a free membership!
