Vocal Ensemble Irrevocable and the Lotus Octet present: VICTUS, a cultural exchange between two young ensembles from the Netherlands and Barcelona. Inspired by the historical novel by Albert Sánchez Piñol they explore the effects of war, civil conflict and identity. How does conflict shape our society, and how should we, as a new generation, relate to each other in light of that shared history?

For this project we’ve delved into the rich musical tradition of Europe, with Spanish and Dutch choral works from the Renaissance till now. Join us in exploring this beautiful music, and be inspired by new works by young composers Diederik van der Laag and Guillem Ponsí.

364 days a year, The Netherlands is a country in motion. But once a year we stop to gather in silence. Vocal Ensemble Irrevocable invites you to commemorate with us on May the 4th, in silence and with music.

Irrevocable plays its own part on Remembrance Day. Our programme takes its name from the commissioned ‘Ils Dorment’ by composer Diederik van der Laag. This piece is inspired by diary fragments from the Second World War. With help from conductor Wouter Verhage, the remainder of the programme was selected based on both beauty and symbolic value. This includes works by Sweelinck, Fauré, Ravel and Glass.

The clock ticks, as time flies. The seasons come and go. As new things are born, old things perish. Days follow each other, while years pass. What to do with your time, as days get shorter, but work does not lessen?

Celebrate, of course! Embrace the cold, dream of spring and seize the moment!

Vocal Ensemble Irrevocable presents – this time in co-operation with conductor Ruben de Grauw: Passing Time, a concert on the nature of time, the poetry of the seasons and the festivity of shameless passtimes. Enter dreams with works as ‘Time is Endless’ by Vytautas Miškinis and ‘Again (after ecclesiastes)’ by David Lang. Let yourself be swept away in the festivities and passions of Francis Poulenc, Einojuhani Rautavaara and a selection of French, English and Spanish madrigals!
