background
The concerts have been canceled, and it briefly seemed that it would not be possible to perform Bach’s grandiose Magnificat with the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra. Now, a new concert has been scheduled: a live concert without an audience for NPO Radio 4 and AVROTROS.
On Friday, December 17, between 8:15 and 9:30 p.m., you heard on NPO Radio 4, AVROTROS Friday Night Concert:
Bach’s festive Orchestra Suite No. 3, Brahms’ Warum ist das Licht gegeben dem Mühseligen? and Geistliches Lied for choir and string orchestra (arr. Bram Kortekaas), and finally Bach’s Magnificat in D.
Thanks to NPO Radio 4 and AVROTROS, you can watch some excerpts below.
