Double Bliss 2
Double Bliss – double musical happiness
Two musicians, two studios, two unique concerts in one evening. During Double Bliss, the resident artists of Heuvellaan Hilversum are given carte blanche to create a surprising programme together with colleagues and with music from the broadcasting archive. During the break, the visitors switch studios and experience a second programme – an evening full of musical double happiness. Hence: Double Bliss.
One of the highlights of the evening is the Scherzo from the Two pieces for string octet op.11 by Dmitry Shostakovich (1906 – 1975), performed by Roctet (with visuals by our violinist Masha Iakovleva)
Location: studio 1
