28.10.25, 20:00, Duo Coordonné & ‘Ontzingen’ by Eva Binon and Arend Pinoy, Dowlands Seven Tears
You may remember Thomas Langlois (lute) as one of Klara’s Twintigers (Twenty-somethings) in 2023. Together with mezzo-soprano Anna Nuytten, he forms Duo Coordonné. They share a great love for Dowland’s work.
John Dowland wrote his Lachrimae, also known as Seven Tears, in 1604, based on a song, Flow my tears, which he had written a few years earlier and which became a real hit. Seven Tears was originally wordless: Dowland wrote it for a viola da gamba consort. Duo Coordonné rewrote the composition and alternates the seven variations with earlier songs by Dowland.
Ontzingen by Eva Binon and Arend Pinoy presents a version of Seven Tears that lies somewhere between performance and musical performance, between laughter and tears, between punk and consolation.

There was room for roguish smiles, but a more serious wrinkle also occasionally cleaved their foreheads. We tackle them in that order.

Student Benjamin Windelinckx was found to be a master of composing music. At his graduation concert, he performed the majority of the scenes of his first chamber opera. A modest tour de force nonetheless.
