EVA Ensemble Vocaal Amsterdam brengt Ode aan de Nacht

A musical ode to the night

Let yourself be carried away on a warm musical journey full of mystery, tranquility, and beautiful choral sounds! The music and lyrics of Ode to the Night transport the listener to a world with many faces: from loneliness and desolation to an atmosphere of peace, stillness, and wonder.

Contemporary composers from various countries express these themes in their own unique ways, in a variety of choral, instrumental, and solo pieces. You'll hear music by artists including Ola Gjeilo, Eric Whitacre, Morten Lauridsen, Ēriks Ešenvalds, Ludovico Einaudi, and a world premiere by Dutch composer Froukje Verhagen, written especially for EVA.
