Music is interspersed with brief commentaries and moments of silence. Visitors are invited to reflect on loss and recovery in their own way. \n● Description: A subdued Easter concert during the special period of Holy Week\, with reflection\, stillness\, and hope as central themes. The music reflects the inner process of mourning\, reflection\, and expectation. \n● Program content: Central to the program is the world-famous ‘Erbarme Dich’ from the St Matthew Passion by J.S. Bach. Additionally\, excerpts from the St John Passion and works by composers such as Gabriel Fauré\, Boris Lyatoshinsky\, and Maurice Ravel will be performed. These compositions form a carefully constructed musical narrative from suffering to solace. \nAfterwards\, there is an opportunity to meet\, have a conversation\, or simply be present together. \nMusicians: \n\nVictoria Davies – Harp\nJozsef Lendvay – Violin\nKatja Dirven-Didychenko\, cello\nStudents of the musicians\n\nAdmission: €25 Students : €10 \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n Add to calendar \n\n\n\n \n Google Calendar \n \n\n \n iCalendar \n \n\n \n Outlook 365 \n \n\n \n Outlook Live URL:https://katjadirven.nl/event/erbarme-dich-art-and-stillness-in-the-easter-season-rozenlust/ LOCATION:Buitenplaats Rozenlust\, Parklaan 11\, Rotterdam CATEGORIES:Lendvay Ensemble ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://katjadirven.nl/wp-content/uploads/stille-zaterdag-2026-ZFM8XB.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260411T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260411T170000 DTSTAMP:20260530T053237 CREATED:20260112T020720Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260406T023739Z UID:304753-1775894400-1775926800@katjadirven.nl SUMMARY:“Incontri Europei con la Musica” – Bergamo\, Sala Piatti DESCRIPTION:@ \n \n \n\nLendvay Trio\n\nJózsef Lendvay\, Violin\nLetitia Maulá\, Clarinet\nKatja Dirven\, Cello\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n Add to calendar \n\n\n\n \n Google Calendar \n \n\n \n iCalendar \n \n\n \n Outlook 365 \n \n\n \n Outlook Live URL:https://katjadirven.nl/event/incontri-europei-con-la-musica-bergamo-sala-piatti/ LOCATION:Sala Piatti\, Via S.

Music\, art and literature become the first ideological battlefield\, with works and artists persecuted and labeled as “degenerate” if they do not conform to the ideals of the regime. In this context\, the female and male composers of the cultural resistance have shown courage and determination\, fighting for freedom. \nEighty years after liberation and the Mauthausen Oaths (16 May)\, the concert pays tribute to these artists and to the victims of the Nazi-fascist regime\, including Jews\, Roma and Sinti\, through a programme that combines music with historical narratives. Each composition is introduced by a story that contextualises its history and struggle\, creating a “red thread” that connects Italy to the rest of Europe. The concert celebrates music not only as a testimony to the past\, but also as an act of living resistance and hope. \nThe project is presented in two formats: a full performance of 1 hour and 30 minutes\, in which each piece is introduced by a historical introduction\, and a series of musical intermezzos enriching institutional and cultural events\, with key pieces interspersed with short\, contextual introductions. \nOur shared experience\, which began in Rotterdam\, has united us in the search and performance of these works\, continuing an idea of ​​cultural resistance through music. Each performance thus becomes not only an act of commemoration\, but a living testimony of those who fought for freedom. In this concert we also pay tribute to the Jews\, Roma and Sinti\, who were victims of deportation and persecution under the Nazi-fascist regime. \nComposers and works to be played\n\nLouis Durey\, French composer and resistance fighter:Trio \nHans Gal\, Hungarian Jewish composer: Serenade \nLeo Smit\, Dutch Jewish composer: Suite \nJack Yellen-Lew Pollack\, Yiddish Lullaby: My Yiddish Mamme\nElsa Barraine\, French composer and resistance fighter of Jewish descent: Serenade \nFrancis Poulenc\, French composer and resistance fighter:Sonata\nErwin Schulhoff\, German composer of Jewish descent\, inspired by jazz\, therefore considered an enemy of the regime:Entertainment \nM.M.\, Ukrainian Jewish melody: Oyfn Pripetshik \nMaurice Ravel\, tribute to French Roma melodies: Tzigane\nClaude Arrieu\, French composer and resistance fighter: Trio\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n Add to calendar \n\n\n\n \n Google Calendar \n \n\n \n iCalendar \n \n\n \n Outlook 365 \n \n\n \n Outlook Live URL:https://katjadirven.nl/event/lebenslied-at-rozenlust/ LOCATION:Buitenplaats Rozenlust\, Parklaan 11\, Rotterdam CATEGORIES:Lendvay Ensemble ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://katjadirven.nl/wp-content/uploads/Jozsef_Katja_Laetizia-IiLcS9.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260530T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20260530T170000 DTSTAMP:20260530T053237 CREATED:20260511T025206Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260525T025405Z UID:304785-1780135200-1780160400@katjadirven.nl SUMMARY:Masterclass in Van Cappellenhuis DESCRIPTION:@ \n \n \n\nOn the weekend of May 30 and 31\, 2026\, the Van Cappellenhuis is organizing a special masterclass weekend for string players and ensembles.
