Close-up: The harp takes centre stage

The harp takes centre stage
In this Close-up concert, the harp takes centre stage. The orchestra’s principal harpist Petra van der Heide and other Concertgebouw Orchestra musicians will be treating you to chamber works for various instrumental combinations. In a colourful series of compositions, the harp takes on an ever-different character – Romantic in Fauré’s Fantaisie for flute and harp, virtuoso in César Franck’s Prelude, Fugue and Variations, more supporting in Isang Yun’s Novellette, dreamy in Pierné’s Impromptu-caprice. Two works by Debussy, the kaleidoscopic Sonata and the famous harp solo Danse sacrée et Danse profane will be topped off by Pearl Chertok’s jazzy notes.
Close-up
Musicians of the Concertgebouw Orchestra perform their own programmes in the Recital Hall as part of the Close-up chamber music series. Each of these concerts is unique and performed only once as part of the series. It’s the very best way to experience the individual qualities of the orchestral musicians! These intimate concerts are organised by the Friends of the Concertgebouw and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.
