The second edition of the Februari Festival will be launched in The Hague’s Nieuwe Kerk on Wednesday, 13 February. After a successful first edition in 2018, which focused on Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn as well as Robert and Clara Schumann, this year’s festival will shine a spotlight on Johannes Brahms.
The Alban Berg Ensemble Wien is this year’s ‘Ensemble in Residence’ and will be present in various formations during each day of the festival. This is actually a first: the festival marks the première performance of this acclaimed ensemble in the Netherlands.
Other Squire artists who will be in the spotlights at the Februari Festival will be Quatuor van Kuijk and pianist Ishay Shaer. They will be performing together with many other widely acclaimed Dutch and international musicians at the Nieuwe Kerk in The Hague.
