Saturday 14 March, 8.15 pm, piano shop Émile van Leenen in Leiden
A cosy and diverse, but compact open stage for chamber music. With at least (movements from): violin sonatas by Grieg and Mozart, a piano sonata by Beethoven, a flute duo and the concerto for 4 violins and orchestra (i.c., piano) by Vivaldi. A bit less than an hour of music (excl. a break with coffee/tea and a cookie). The entrance is free (but there is an opportunity for a voluntary contribution).
Saturday 13 June, 8.15 pm, Hartebrugkerk in Leiden (no tickets available yet)
Six young soloists play and sing self-chosen repertoire with orchestra, conducted by Dominic Seldis. A highly varied concert, in which the soloists present themselves to the public often for the first time on this scale.
A cooperation between T.O.P. Orchestra and Nanagen String orchestra from Tokyo
In the past years, String Orchestra Nanagen from Tokyo gave concerts in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam three times. In March 2019, they return, this time for a collaboration with the T.O.P. Orchestra. Their visit will be answerd by a visit from the T.O.P. Orchestra to Tokyo in July of the same year. This establishes a unique artistic collaboration between cultures geographically far apart, a great learning opportunity for orchestra members, conductor, soloists and the two orchestras’ boards. The project will be led by conductor Kent Moussault.
