Repertoire
ILLIMANI
Where the mountain meets the sky
The Duo presents a beautiful program featuring both well-known and beloved pieces, and works you may not have heard before but which you will learn to love. They musically combine two parts of the world: Europe and Bolivia (South America).
​
The program includes among other works, the Cinq Morceaux by Julius Röntgen (a Dutch composer), from whose family the cellist’s instrument has been made available to the NMF.
Bolivia is rich with many different kinds of passionate music, and the Duo has made a personal selection, bringing surprising works from classical composers to folk music arranged especially for the Duo.
Reactions
'I could almost see the mountains. The music is very calming, but also extremely passionate! Great playing!'
'You suprised me, this music was completely new to me, and I am so glad I got to know it!'
​With music in their blood from the Netherlands and Bolivia, their homelands, they promise an unforgettable experience that will surprise and move you.
zielskracht
With 'Zielskracht', Duo Delta Scuti presents a captivating program that blends folk music from various cultures with classical repertoire. They let the soul of the music speak in works by Schumann, Martinu, Röntgen, and Tsintsadze.
​
Folk music is the language of human emotion: raw, intense, and honest. In this concert, you'll hear the cello cry, the piano dance, and experience the deep feelings of joy, love, melancholy, and tenderness. Music that reminds us that, despite our differences, emotions are universal.
​
The program opens with Schumann's Five Pieces in the Folk, in which he transforms folk music into poetic miniatures. Martinu's Variations on a Slovak Theme showcases the versatility of a simple folk theme. Cinq Morceaux by Dutch composer Julius Röntgen (whose cello was donated to the NMF by the cellist's family) brings a light, playful touch, while Tsintsadze's Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes concludes the concert with lively rhythms and captivating melodies.
​
Together, these works create a powerful musical experience, each piece transporting you to a different world of wonder, leaving no listener unmoved.
