Musica Adriatica 2.0
In the autumn of 2023 we produced the second edition of Musica Adriatica. This time we will focus on the Psalmi, Missa, et alia cantica quinque vocibus by the composer Tomasco Cecchini working with the following musicians: Meneka Senn, Sofia Pedro, Jussi Lehitipuu, Gregor Lamers, Yonathan van den Brink, Xander Baker, Jeremy Andrew Bass and Sara Dodig Baučić.
HAUGTUSSA
Thanks to NORMA FONDS, we could produce the production of Haustussa where music of Edvard Grieg was combined with the beautiful poetry of Herman Gorter. Narrator: Simon Mulder, soprano: Meneka Senn, Piano: Yukiko Hasegawa.
The peformance took place in Lelystad at the farm De Zonneboog. It was the perfect setting for this story.
Afterwards there were also 2 performances in Amsterdam.
Yala Music Academy
May 2023 The first Yala Music Academy took place with a 4 -day singing masterclass of Maurits Draijer for (semi)professional singers and a Scratchday with Mozart Requiem, conducted by Ulrikke Reed Findenegg for anyone who liked to sing this masterpiece. We used the beautful edition by Czerny for quatre-mains. Our pianists were Brian Fieldhouse and Tobias Borsboom.
The soloists for the Requiem were students of the Masterclass.
At the scratchday Yala Music also hired 4 professional singers, 1 for each voice group to provide their group with extra advice.
The Yala Music Academy was a big success, there will be a follow up in february 2026.
