Voulez-vous danser?

Have you ever seen in real life a room filled with enchanting baroque music and dancers in lavish costumes à la Louis XIV? This winter, the Kunstorkest invites you to an evening back in time with our programme ‘Voulez-Vous danser’!

We dance to Desmarets and Lully through 17th century France, where we breathe new life into unknown music, but also well-known works such as the Folia Variations. To catch our breath, we sit back listening to stunning music by Graaf and Boismortier.

Take part in this soirée dansante and relive the heyday of baroque dance and music with us.

Hocus Pocus

Have you always been wondering what howling cats, scratching chickens and barking dogs sound like on a violin? Do you like humorous chamber music and are you a fan of beautiful baroque music?

On April 5, the Kunstorkest will be performing a programme centered around the theme of deceptions and illusions. Among others, the programme includes the ouverture from Mozart’s opera La Finta Semplice, literally “The Fake Innocent”. The programme also includes Farina’s “Capriccio Stravagante”, where we will show how the violin can transform into different animals, but also a guitar, a lyre and a drum. The concert will take place in de Doopsgezinde kerk in Utrecht. Come out of your nest for the Kunstorkest!
