The third and final concert of Henk van Twillert in Concert, presented by Stadsherstel, celebrates Amsterdam 750 on 18 May at Oosterkerk.

​

Imagine the evening, where Henk van Twillert and his talented companions "Vento do Norte" take you to different places around the world with their program "Encontro Azul". An encounter with Un Sueño in Re minor by Gerard Palm together with Astor Piazzolla's stirring Libertango, Leonard Cohen's life song Halleluja in duo with the compelling Air by Johann Sebastian Bach, or the melancholy of Portuguese Fado in Cançao do Mar, which continues to dream with Curaçao in the beautiful twilight of Rudy Plaate's Atardi.

An emotional moment will be when the musicians with whom Henk has worked perform their compositions; Despedida by Wim Statius Muller, Abo So by Padú del Caribe and the Pavane para Guiomar by Livio Hermans.

Versatile, competent, passionate and sincere, Henk van Twillert brings together a generation of musicians, each with their own unique sound, who together leave an indelible impression.

​Back on Stage…

The connection between the Amsterdam Saxophone Quartet and the city of Aveiro began in 1991, with an invitation from saxophonist and educator Fernando Valente to the Quartet. From then until 2009, they included Aveiro in their numerous international tours, marked by the love and enthusiasm they felt for their community. Now, after more than a decade, the new Amsterdam Saxophone Quartet returns to the stage in a unique and exclusive concert in Aveiro.

Duke Ellington
"It don’t mean a thing if it aint got that swing’

Will be joining to the Amsterdam Saxophone Quartet,  Saxophonist Guido de Flavis, the percussionist Helvio Mendes and Lindy Hop dancers from the Hop dance Studio.

The Amsterdam Saxophone Quartet guarantees a night full of swing, rooted in the legendary style of the great American composer Duke Ellington.

Bach is de naam...
As the title suggests this afternoon you will be all about the grand master Johann Sebastian Bach. That Bach is one of the greatest composers in the world, there is no doubt about, but did you know that he also has left his mark on several pop songs? Including the trumpet part of the song Penny Lane of The Beatles. 

On the basis of musical examples, saxophone player Henk van Twillert and pianist Tjako van Schie will  be playing a surprising “Koffieconcert” full of facts, compositions and stories about this famous composer!
