Die harmonie & Nextgeneration artists

Mozart's Nachtmusik K. 388 may be overshadowed by his Gran Partita, but the melodies are equally refined, and the instrumentation is just as subtle and colorful – in short, it is a beautiful wind serenade! I SOLISTI will open the program with the ouverture and arias from Le Nozze di Figaro, in a historic arrangement by Johann Nepomuk Wendt. This formation of a historical wind octet and double bass was immensely popular during Mozart's time, and many courts employed such ensembles. These ensembles, called "die Harmonie," also played a significant role in disseminating a wide range of repertoire, including operas, through various adaptations that were created during that period.

We are delighted to bring two of our young exceptional talents. Jappe and Balder Dendievel, two brothers aged 19 and 22, are both I SOLISTI NextGeneration Artists. They will perform the entire program and have the opportunity to present a solo to the audience. Balder will perform Britten's solo work, a highlight from the oboe repertoire that portrays powerful character sketches of figures from Roman mythology. Jappe will present a work by Wim Henderickx, originally composed for his teacher and mentor Francis Pollet, who is also the founder of I SOLISTI.
