Two To Tango – Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, Amsterdam

About this event

Two to Tango is an orchestral concert within the 2026 Cello Biennale Amsterdam at the Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ. The program traces a line from Palestrina through three Fauré works to Frank Martin and Henryk Górecki, culminating in the world premiere of Rembrandt Frerichs’ double concerto On Love and Other Negotiations. Cellist Quirine Viersen is featured in Martin’s Ballade, while Maja Bogdanović (cello) and Daniel Rowland (violin) premiere Frerichs’ concerto. The description casts “two to tango” as a musical encounter shaped by lush jazz harmonies and non‑Western rhythms rather than a theatrical staging. No separate staging team is listed; the focus is on the orchestra and soloists under conductor Anna Sulkowska‑Migon.
