Bachs Brandenburgs concert nr. 5 en Schumanns Pianokwintet
They seem to be two extremes: Bach's precise Fifth Brandenburg Concerto and Schumann's Piano Quintet full of emotions. But when performed side by side, they appear to fit together seamlessly. Bach's Fifth Brandenburg Concerto is a precursor to Mozart's classical and balanced piano concertos, but features not one, but three soloists. Together with members of the instrumental collective LUDWIG, Nadia Wijzenbeek, concertmaster of the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and member of LUDWIG, pianist Daria van den Berken and solo flutist from the Concertgebouw Orchestra Emily Beynon will perform in an arrangement of Bach's beloved masterpiece.

Schumann's Piano Quintet
Robert Schumann was the first major composer to come up with the idea of supplementing the familiar string quartet with a piano part. A fairly obvious step for Schumann, who had just fully immersed himself in the world of the string quartet, resulting in the three string quartets opus 41. He composed the piano part with his wife Clara in mind – a renowned pianist. The Piano Quintet is therefore extremely loving at times. But as is often the case with Schumann's music, the piece is bursting with different emotions, which sometimes merge almost manically.
