‘Garden of Joys and Sorrows’ for flute, viola, harp and narrator (ad lib.)

Unfortunately, harpist Agnès Clément had to cancel her participation in the concert due to illness. We are very happy that Anneleen Lenaerts has agreed to step in at short notice. The program for the concert remains unchanged.

Subject to change.

Documentary film ‘Dmitri Shostakovich. The Viola Sonata’ (1981, OmU)

The film documents the often endangered existence of Dmitri Shostakovich in the Soviet Union. The directors created their work from archive material, which they edited exclusively with music by the composer. Criticism of Soviet cultural policy and solidarity with the composer, who on the one hand was honoured, but on the other hand was repeatedly harassed and humiliated, is created through the art of montage image/music.
