Canto Ostinato vs. The Netherlands from Above

Iconic Art Deco masterpiece

Canto Ostinato is an icon of Dutch music: hypnotic, immersive, and endlessly evolving. In the hands of these exceptional musicians, the work reaches an extraordinary level of intensity. Pianist Jeroen van Veen is internationally acclaimed as the leading interpreter of Ten Holt's music, while organist Aart Bergwerff and trumpeter Eric Vloeimans received an Edison Klassiek Award nomination for their groundbreaking interpretation of Canto Ostinato.

Throughout the performance, the music is accompanied by the monumental film The Netherlands from Above, created from breathtaking aerial photography by Karel Tomeï. His sweeping, poetic images of the Netherlands fill the screen of Tuschinski, allowing the country's landscapes—seen from above—to merge seamlessly with the music.

A unique fusion of music, film, and architecture in one of the world's most beautiful theatres. An unforgettable experience where sound, image, and space come together to create a truly immersive performance.
