Concert series 'Vriendenconcerten'
Pamela Smits is the founder, and since 2013 Artistic Director, of the Foundation Vriendenconcerten. She is the driving force and “heart and soul” of this concert series that takes place at the beautiful 17th century church; the Zuiderkerk in the heart of old Amsterdam.
Commissioned by the Board of the Foundation Vriendenconcerten, she gives shape to the concert series of nine concerts and invites top musicians who, with their excellence and infectious enthusiasm, create an intimate ambience in which they engage the audience.
A common thread running through the series this season is the celebration of 750 years of Amsterdam’s existence.
Season 2024-2025
Second and upcoming concert of this season:
Date: Sunday 3 November 2024, at 15:30 hrs.
Jan Brokken – speaker/author
Pamela Smits – cello
Tobias Borsboom – piano
On Curaçao it was customary to compose waltzes for festivities and funerals, but also simply as a gift. Chopin's music found its way to the island during the 19th century and influenced the composers of Curaçao: Jan Gerard Palm, the patriarch of Curaçao's classical salon music; Jules Blasini, who was the only Antillean to study at the conservatory in Paris; and Jacobo Conrad who brought ear-tickling serenades with his violin outside many bedroom windows on Curaçao! And of course, the inimitable composer and pianist Wim Statius Muller!
Wim Statius Muller was leading a double life. In daytime he worked undercover as a spy for the secret service, but at night he composed the most exquisite dances. It earned him the nickname “Curaçaoan Chopin.”
Award-winning author and storyteller par excellence Jan Brokken (recipient of the Gouden Ganzeveer 2023; a Dutch cultural award given to a person or organization of great significance to the written and printed word.) lived in the Antilles for 10 years and researched the origins of music in the Antilles. He has captured these findings in his book Why eleven Antilleans knelt before Chopin's heart.
The voice of a “Divine storyteller” (Volkskrant newspaper), “Two poets of the keys and strings” (Westdeutsche Zeitung) and infectious rhythms of tumbas, mazurkas and sultry waltzes. What more could you wish for on a wintry Sunday afternoon?
