Chamber choir NEXT
Chamber choir NEXT was founded in 2015 by former members of the Utrecht Student Cantorij. Together with conductor Fokko Oldenhuis, they started a chamber choir for singers who have outgrown the student choirs.
The choir consists of approximately 32 young, ambitious singers between the ages of 25 and 45. Every week, they rehearse challenging programs with a variety of classical choir music. They like to work with professional musicians and contemporary composers, but also other artists, such as dancers and writers. In this way, they try to surprise the audience with every concert and let them listen to the music in a new way.
With La voix du bien-aimé (The voice of the beloved) you imagine yourself in the great French cathedrals in the time of influential 20th-century composers such as Maurice Duruflé and Daniel-Lesur. While the light streams through the stained glass windows and creates a play of colour and light on the walls, the choir and organ resound against the high vaults, ringing in a new musical era. Chamber choir NEXT, together with Dorien Schouten, brings a cross-section of the French music tradition from the previous century for choir and organ in this programme, with music from Duruflé and Daniel-Lesur to Escaich, Briggs and Hakim.
Special guest during the concert in the Nicolaïkerk is Ko Zwanenburg, organist of the Nicolaïkerk. He will play works by Thierry Escaich and Olivier Messiaen.

HOT plays Hendrix
HOT Het Orgel Trio

They must have thought it could always be more surprising... After projects in which HOT Het Orgel Trio received widespread praise with contemporary recompositions of jazz greats such as Charlie Parker and Duke Ellington, and then delved back 400 years in time with song arrangements by J.P. Sweelinck, it presents its own unique vision of the work of blues rock legend Jimi Hendrix in its new programme. There are certainly no screeching or amplified guitars to be heard in the acoustic programme, but there are the singing and howling strings of Catalan cellist Pau Sofa Masafrets. Grand organ sounds mingle with blues licks in Foxey Lady. But HOT also searches for tranquillity, such as in Hey Joe, which goes from very small to very large and back again very small. In Voodoo Child, minimal rhythmic patterns lead to a large, enchanting build-up in which the church fills with inspired breath. In the program HOT plays Hendrix the gentlemen of Het Orgel Trio are inspired by the genius of the American guitar giant, and in the process they also reinvent themselves.
Ticket sales will start soon.
