Chamber Music Heusden Vesting cordially invites you to a unique concert in historic and artistic Heusden. This special evening brings together two instruments that, though rarely heard in combination, form a fascinating musical dialogue: the mighty organ and the graceful harp.
The organ, often hailed as the "king of instruments," offers a wealth of sounds, from subdued and delicate to grand and majestic. The harp, with its refined and ethereal sound, adds a unique clarity and subtlety, creating an enchanting balance.
During the concert, Marcel Verheggen will play the monumental 1828 N.A. Lohman organ, as well as the choir organ of de Wit Waddinxveen. Véronique Serpenti brings the magic of the harp to life and together they create a harmony not to be missed.
The program includes masterpieces such as the harp concerto by Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf, the Aria in classical style by Marcel Grandjany and Concierto no.1 by Josef Blanco.
Get carried away by this incomparable fusion of sounds and enjoy an evening of musical refinement.
