Fourth KaMu of the season: "Drama"

2010-02-28 15:00:00

Traditionally, each season, at least one of the chamber music concerts of Krashna Musika takes place at a location external to the Unit Culture. On Sunday, the 28th of February, the time is there and you will be able to enjoy a KaMu centered around the theme "Drama" in the cosy Flora Theatre at the Verwersdijk 1 in Delft!

Both vocal as well as instrumental chamber music work with a dramatic dimension will be extensively represented. Besides, several famous opera scenes will actually come to life on stage. So if you are curious and would like to know what all this high singing in Italian is about, this is your chance to find out!

The concert will start at 15.00 h. More programme details can be found in the agenda item.

Third KaMu of the season: "Oud & Nieuw"

2010-01-10 20:15:00

First of all, the 42nd board of DSMG Krashna Musika would like to wish all of you a beautiful, musical and successful 2010!

In the first weekend after the holidays, on Sunday 10th of January, the third KaMu of the year will be taking place. The theme will be "Oud & Nieuw", which literally would translate to "Old & New". We use this expression in Dutch to indicate the turn of the year, but in the concert we will take it literally as well and give special attention to older (early) and newer music than you might usually find on a standard programme!

An extra special detail is that the harpsichord and organ of the Unit Culture have been recovered from their forgotten storage places for our concert. You will be able to hear them live in action during the concert!

The concert will start at 8.15 PM. Please see the agenda item for further details.

The three TU concerts have been a success!

2009-12-11 20:15:00

After three years of preparation, finally, the time was there: on 11th, 12th en 13th of December the three TU concerts took place! A unique possibility to see and hear the student orchestras of all three Dutch universities of technology in one concert!

The project was a very special experience for all the participants and given the enthusiastic response of the audience, it was a huge success as well! In our photo gallery you will be able to get some impressions of the Delft concert.

If you liked the concerts, what about joining us in the next project? You are very welcome to visit our open rehearsals, which will take place in February after our choir concerts!
