Agenda

The breathtaking witnessing of a world wonder, the extasy of deep affection, the loss of a loved one - music communicates with us. This course explores the message brought by the greatest classical compositions. In four evenings, we will tune our ears in to discover all the magic that this music contains - no prior knowledge required!

"Proud Mary," "Who’ll Stop The Rain," "Bad Moon Rising," "I Put A Spell On You;" These are just a few examples from the long list of indestructible classics credited to Creedence Clearwater Revival. With their distinctive sound and catchy songs, John Fogerty and his band achieved unprecedented success in the '60s and '70s. Numerous chart-topping hits and a performance at Woodstock were the result. The music of C.C.R. is etched in the memories of many as the ultimate soundtrack of the legendary '60s and '70s. The Fortunate Sons bring these times back to life.

Raymond van het Groenewoud is renowned as one of the most authentic wordsmiths in the Low Countries. In September, the Flemish singer, guitarist, and pianist will perform at Muziekgebouw Eindhoven for the first time. Raymond is one of the most versatile and influential figures in the Belgian music scene. His musical journey began in the 1970s, and since then, he has built an impressive repertoire. Classics like 'Meisjes,' 'Je Veux de l'amour,' 'Liefde voor muziek,' and 'Twee Meisjes' represent just a glimpse of his over fifty-year career. Van het Groenewoud is known for his eclectic style, blending elements of rock, pop, chanson, and blues.

The American singer-songwriter Andrew Combs is often classified within the country genre, partly because he has been operating from the country capital, Nashville, for many years. However, his musical palette is much broader. Combs began his musical career in Nashville, where his sound evolved from alternative rock to a blend of country, Americana, and indie folk. Combs' ability to combine different genres gives his music a unique character. With his gentle voice and subtle string arrangements, Combs has released five meticulously crafted albums. His latest, "Sundays," was released in 2022.

It's been 25 years since Ilse DeLange put country music on the map in the Netherlands with her classic debut album "World Of Hurt."

When it comes to progressive rock, Haken is the name that springs to mind. Since the sextet from England began making music in 2004, they have been one of the most adventurous bands within their genre. Each album they have released is unique, but they are connected by their unpredictable time signatures and distinctive songwriting and vocals. Their most recent album, "Fauna," epitomizes this diversity at its best. Haken describes the album as their 'sonic rainforest', where they blend old sounds with new, daring ideas. During this concert, they will perform "Fauna" in its entirety, as well as a selection of their older work.

Schalk Bezuidenhout has come a long way since his humble beginnings in a strip club in his hometown of Johannesburg. His major breakthrough came when he was selected as the opening act for Trevor Noah's Nation Wild Tour. Since then, he has been on the path to becoming one of South Africa's most sought-after comedians. In 2023, he performed at the prestigious Fringe Comedy Festival, and to top it off, he released a Netflix special. Despite recently getting married, Bezuidenhout feels older, wiser, and more mature, but his sole aim remains: to stay connected with the youth. The question remains whether he will succeed in doing so.

"The most refined ensemble of them all. A cappella fans: this you must hear!" is what Record Review of BBC Radio 3 said about VOCES8.  Nothing but three women and five men in the spotlight on stage: you will breathlessly listen in the Hertog Jan Hall. The British singers of Voces8 sing purely and without accompaniment. They are often described as the Rolls-Royce of a cappella ensembles. "Ultimate control, crystal-clear sound, and tight harmonies," as described by the Volkskrant.

The Hammond soul band The Pulitzers consists of drummer Salle de Jonge, guitarist Bas van der Wal, percussionist Phil Martin, and Hammond organ player Frank Montis. Their music is an engaging fusion of soul, funk, and rhythm-and-blues, with the raw Hammond and guitar driven by rhythmic percussion and drums. Inspired by legends like The Meters, Jimmy McGriff, and Booker T, The Pulitzers perform their own original songs with a single goal: to ignite a fire! When these four dedicated musicians play together, sparks fly.

The legendary Belgian duo Clouseau is bringing the CLOUSEAU40 Clubtour to Muziekgebouw Eindhoven! 40 years of Clouseau deserve to be celebrated. In late 2024 and early 2025, the gentlemen will perform 12 times in a sold-out Sportpaleis in Antwerp, and now they are also touring the stages in the Netherlands. Koen and Kris Wauters, the charismatic brothers behind Clouseau, will treat you to an evening filled with their greatest hits. From the heartwarming 'Anne' to the irresistible 'Daar gaat ze' (There She Goes); all the hits will be showcased.

Last year, Jana Mila flew to Nashville with a substantial collection of self-written songs and returned home with a dream debut and a record deal. The renowned American label New West Records gave her complete freedom to work on her debut album with producer Todd Lombardo (Kacey Musgraves) and a group of legendary musicians. The songs of the 26-year-old singer are characterized by strong lyrics and surprising, catchy melodies, drawing inspiration from artists such as Brandi Carlile, Sheryl Crow, Julia Jacklin, Carly Simon, and Phoebe Bridgers. With a strong band around her, she easily transitions on stage between quiet, melancholic songs and energetic, upbeat numbers.

In 2022, Sven Hammond delivered a delightful set during the Clubnight of our jazz festival: So What's Next?. In September, he returns to the Hertog Jan Hall of Muziekgebouw Eindhoven, accompanied by his Big Band and orchestra, to present a swinging program celebrating the legend, 'Brother Ray' Charles. Expect not only his world-famous hits like 'Georgia', 'Hit The Road Jack', and 'Hallelujah', but also beautiful arrangements of other contemporaries transformed into timeless classics by Brother Ray.

'Queues of fans at his soloist's room, one of the best pianists on earth'. The Parool reviewer was short of superlatives after Krystian Zimmerman's concert at the Concertgebouw in 2023. '... one big declaration of love to music, his instrument, everything,' she wrote, completely captivated by 'internalised expression, followed by a conclusion you could hardly recover from'.  This is your chance to see Krystian Zimmerman, one of the best pianists on earth, shine in our Hertog Jan Hall. And since he is inseparable from his grand piano and travels the world with it, he will play this performance on his own grand piano.

Cocobolo sounds like a mix of old school funk, psychedelic rock, and surf guitars, resulting in a retro vibe. However, the band believes that music is not just something you listen to but also something to watch. They write all their songs with an image as the starting point. This image and the song become a story, like a film. Imagine a chase, an evening walk in the forest, or a rain dance. These visual backgrounds ensure that all their songs have one thing in common: they stimulate your imagination. You can experience this adventure yourself tonight at Kaleidoscope!

Their lyrics are sharp, touching, and humorous, always casting a loving eye on our struggles with being human. With the support of talented musicians, they tread a unique path between electronic pop music and semi-acoustic theater repertoire. And always with a perfect blend of humor and emotion.
