Can I be alone without feeling lonely? When we feel embraced by music, being alone can actually have a healing effect. Neo-Romantic composer-pianist DeLange is known for his melancholic melodies that take you into your memories and emotions and make you feel secure in your own presence. DeLange grew up with the sounds of Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Satie, and Debussy, and this is reflected in his compositions. Because DeLange experiences music in colors and forms (a condition called synesthesia), composing is for him like creating works of art: painting colorful landscapes with the melody as the main subject.

Recently, DeLange's composition 'Tristesse' was selected as one of the highest new entries in the Classical Top 400, and he made his debut in a sold-out Concertgebouw. In Volkskrant Magazine, his music was described as ‘Excellent,’ and his work has now been listened to more than 30 million times worldwide.

During this piano solo concert, DeLange brings the listener back to themselves with music that touches and enchants. In doing so, he creates a bubble in which time and space seem not to exist, only one's own thoughts and the sounds of the piano as a personal soundtrack.

For fans of Yann Tiersen, Ludovico Einaudi, and Ólafur Arnalds.

Come and have lunch in our restaurant Stoom beforehand to make your afternoon out complete! We recommend taking a seat in our restaurant at 12:00; the soup will be served at 12:30!

If you saw him now, you wouldn't say so: Kasper used to prefer staying in the background. Those days are over. He has, in fact, discovered a different Kasper within himself. A Kasper who dares to take up more and more space. Connecting with other people is also getting easier, although the tricky part of a conversation remains that you have no control over what the other person will say in return. From now on, Kasper is allowed to be himself. People will no longer cross his boundaries. At least, that is the intention. In his new show, Kasper is eager to tell us how he does that. And to show us. We are curious to see what we can learn from him this time.

In Swing Club Fuse brengt Fuse een ode aan de grote muzikale vernieuwers uit het begin van de 20e eeuw, uit zowel de Amerikaanse als Europese traditie. Van Duke Ellington en Thelonious Monk tot Igor Stravinsky en Maurice Ravel. In die periode ontstond in zalen en clubs een muzikale revolutie vol ritme en verbeeldingskracht. Nieuwe stijlen, geboren uit het verlangen naar zeggenschap; soms vrolijk en dansbaar, soms doordrenkt van verzet.
