NVT in collaboration with the Dutch embassy: unique concert by the Holborne Consort
|
|
|
|
|
After studying the recorder at the Utrecht Conservatory with Heiko ter Schegget, Teun Wisse and Thomas Triesschijn had the idea to ask their former teacher to form a trio. Heiko immediately responded enthusiastically and the Holborne Consort was a fact. The ensemble focuses on the performance of Renaissance music on copies of recorders from that period. The sound of these 16th-century recorders is moving and fits the music of the Renaissance extremely well, partly due to the vocal qualities of these instruments. The recorders played by the Holborne Consort were built by Heiko ter Schegget.
|
|
The members of the Holborne Consort played concerts throughout Europe, Asia and the United States and worked with ensembles and conductors such as the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra conducted by Ton Koopman and the Dutch Bach Society, Capriccio Stravagante conducted by Skip Sempé, Holland Baroque, Les Talens. Lyriques conducted by Christophe Rousset and Vox Luminis.

In our program 'The Bassanos in London' we tell the exciting story of 5 brothers from the Venetian Bassano family, who were called to London by King Henry VIII to build and play wind instruments at his court. The name Bassano was a household name throughout Europe in the 16th and early 17th centuries, almost a kind of brand name. Bassano wind instruments were played throughout Europe and even appeared in South America through Spanish and Portuguese expeditions! The program naturally includes English music by Henry VIII himself, the Holborne brothers, Morley and Farnaby, but also Italian music that the Bassanos may have brought with them to London, such as music by Ruffo, Festa and De Rore. This combination of the two different national styles and the story of the Bassano brothers forms a fascinating whole and a moving concert experience for the audience.

Review NVT in conversation with Rob Hurenkamp
|
|
|
|
|
|
With great interest, Rob Hurenkamp was able to explain in a clear and animated manner what is going on regarding taxation of income and assets of Dutch people in Thailand. The new tax treaty between the Netherlands and Thailand has now been signed by the Netherlands, but not yet by Thailand and it is therefore expected that it will not enter into force before January 1, 2025. And it is not yet entirely clear what exactly the consequences will be. As soon as there is more news to report on this subject that affects many of us, we as NVT will take action and let the experts explain how it works, so: to be continued!
