The 25-26 season featured five programmers who worked closely with artist-in-residence Alan Land. In Schwanendreher Arno Piters placed the musicians in the center of the hall, with the audience in between. A unique experience for everyone!

Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time The performance, featuring dance and projections, was spectacular. Afterward, we continued on a more lighthearted note in the foyer of the Muziekgebouw.

Programmer Izak Hudnik is a cellist and philosopher. His program Metamorphoses brought these two together beautifully.

A big celebration featuring the Dutch Youth Brass Band and the outstanding Miroslav Petkov and Dimitar Bodurov as soloists. In Balkan Brass We heard lively Balkan music and virtuoso performances from everyone. Alan's giant butterflies floated above the musicians.

The Program Bittersweet fruit was conceived and arranged by Katerina Orfanoudaki and Irene Sorozábal. They alternated sensual Baroque music and their own compositions with poems by the Greek poet Sappho.
