Syrène Saxofoonkwartet - Achter de Kerken 157
On Saturday May 1st and Sunday May 2nd you can find us on our favourite spot: on the water! We’re performing Water Music by George Friedrich Händel on a boat on the Vecht, from Nieuwersluis to Maarssen. These concerts are made possible by Fonds Podiumkunsten – Balkonscènes.
On 17 July 1717, hundreds of boats overflowing with spectators filled the River Thames to see the celebratory boat cruise for King George I of Great Britain up close. For the occasion, George Friedrich Handel composed his Water Music suites performed by fifty musicians also seated on a boat. They were even called upon by the euphoric king to repeat the work three times that evening. It would take almost 125 years for the Belgian inventor Adolphe Sax to enrich the current set of instruments with his family of saxophones and thus lay the foundation for contemporary performance practice where saxophones can no longer be ignored.
