Het Collectief is pleased to present its varied concert agenda for the fall of this year.

The eye-catcher for December  is a three-part cycle at deSingel on the theme ‘Vienna 1900’. On the program: an ample anthology from the repertoire of Arnold Schoenberg and his  pupils. Live with us the many nuances in the impressive evolution from high romanticism to modernism, evolution to which the Second Viennese school owes its high reputation. Incidentally, the same repertoire can also be heard in October at the cultural centre of Peer.

Worth mentioning are also three concerts focusing on the self-determined American composer Frederic Rzewski. The Bruges Concert hall will be the scene of a genuine world creation of a new work by the master,  whereas in Eindhoven and Amsterdam the audience will be invited to listen to some older, politically committed works,  performed as part of the series ‘Scherpdenkers’ (Sharp-sighted observers).

Likewise ’12 x 12’, the musical zodiac by Capilla Flamenca and Het Collectief, will be brought on stage again after a remarkable appearance at the Saintes Festival (France) this summer.  Venue of this repeat performance: the Oosterpoort in Groningen (The Netherlands)
