Romantic composer stories in sound, words and image. Storytelling (in Dutch) brings to life the story behind the music: letters, diary-fragments, simple theatrical means, a modern beamer, the pianoforte, the location, all coming together in our story of sound...
The audience is taken on a rich and inspiring journey.

Programme 2. Amanda back on tour!

This performance gives the audience a taste of the Amsterdam musical atmosphere in the late 19-hunderds and gives a insight in the often tragical faith of talented female musicians of that period of time.
