De Matthäus Passion geldt in Nederland als de favoriete compositie in de passietijd en is verankerd in onze cultuur. The Bach Choir & Orchestra of the Netherlands is als geen ander in staat de symboliek, emotie en troost over te brengen aan u als luisteraar. 

Johann Sebastian Bach bedacht voor zijn magnus opus een unieke opstelling: twee koren en twee orkesten. De compositie vertelt het chronologische lijdensverhaal van Christus waarbij symboliek een grote rol speelt. Bach gebruikt allerlei muzikale middelen om rijke effecten te krijgen. Hij schreef voor zowel instrumenten als solisten specifieke rollen. De verteller: de evangelist, neemt u mee door het verhaal. Hij wordt afgewisseld door het koor, enerzijds intiem en dan weer overweldigend. Iedere solist heeft een eigen emotionele dimensie zoals liefde, smart, troost, beschouwend. 

De musici van the Bach Orchestra bespelen authentieke instrumenten uit Bachs tijd en het The Bach Choir wordt geroemd om haar dynamische en expressieve klank. De (inter)nationale solisten hebben een enorme toewijding wat hoorbaar en zichtbaar zal zijn tijdens de meesterlijke aria’s. Onder leiding van dirigent Pieter Jan Leusink zijn zij als geen ander in staat de symboliek, emotie en troost over te brengen aan u als luisteraar.

I saw this picture and I remembered my grandparents.
Stories and images described by the beginning of 900. 
They escaped in boats from Smyrna (Asia Minor), where until a few days before, Greeks and Turks live together peacefully.
Impossible to forget the 1,750,000 refugees, escaped from Ireland in the middle of the nineteenth century, for the great famine.

economic interests, colonialism, wars, deaths, refugees, hunger, racism.

Years go by and the story repeats itself.
Those who are well now, think to be immune to these events, but there is no country in history that has not had such dramatic events.

told an old sick to a young boy: where I am now, you will be and where are you now, I have just been.
think about it.

Symphony No. 35 in D major, K. 385, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1782 and is also called the Haffner Symphony. It was commissioned by the Haffners, a prominent Salzburg family, for the occasion of Sigmund Haffner's ennoblement. 

The Haffner Symphony should not be confused with the eight-movement Haffner Serenade, another piece Mozart wrote on commission from the same family in 1776.

I. Allegro con spirito

When communicating with his father Leopold, Mozart stated that this movement was to be played with fire. The movement is in sonata form with a short development section. The exposition commences with no introduction with all instruments in unison, this opening motive is quite powerful – the result of cleverly using sharp dotted rhythms to arrest the listener's attention.

The second subject is similar in melodic material and rhythm to the first subject, recalling the monothematic sonata movements of Haydn (e.g. Symphony No. 104).

Mozart places no repeat signs at the end of the exposition. This goes against the standard sonata form convention of the day, but is something that he also does in the three big symphonies which precede the Haffner (No's. 31, 33 and 34).

The development begins with an A unison as a transition from A major to D minor (bars 95–104). After three beats silence, Mozart shifts from the dominant of D minor to an F♯ chord, and then begins a series of rapid chord changes, namely – F♯7 (bar 106), B (bar 109), B minor (bar 110), C♯7 (bar 110). Finally, using C♯7 as the dominant for F♯ minor, Mozart briefly delves in this key (bars 111–120) before using a string of consecutive dominant 7ths (bars 120–129) to work back to the dominant 7th of D major in preparation for the recapitulation. 

The recapitulation is similar to the exposition with the exception of expected differences in the transition passage. This movement closes with a short four-bar coda.

The Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra in C major, K. 299/297c, is a composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for flute, harp, and orchestra. It is one of only two true double concertos that he wrote, as well as the only piece of music by Mozart that contains the harp.

Multi-Platinum Concept Album from IndyPop Records

The piece is one of the most popular such concerti in the repertoire, as well as often being found on recordings dedicated otherwise to either one of its featured instruments.

I. Allegro

The orchestra states both themes. The first is immediately present, and the second is introduced by the horn. Both themes fall under the conventional sonata form. The soli then re-work the already present themes.

Mozart's Clarinet concerto in A major, K. 622 was written in 1791, shortly before Mozart's death, for the clarinetist Anton Stadler. It consists of the usual three movements, in a fast–slow–fast form:

Allegro (in A major and in sonata form)
Adagio (in D major and in ternary form)
Rondo: Allegro (in A major and in rondo form)

It was also one of Mozart's final completed works, and his final purely instrumental work (he died less than two months after its October premiere). 

The concerto is notable for its delicate interplay between soloist and orchestra, and for the lack of overly extroverted display on the part of the soloist (no cadenzas are written out in the solo part).

The opening orchestral ritornello is joyful and light, and soon transforms into a flurry of sixteenth notes in descending sequence, played by the violins and flutes while the lower instruments drive the piece forward. After the medial caesura, the strings begin a series of canons before the first closing theme, featuring duelling violin I's and violin II's, enters. 

The soloist exposition of this movement appears on almost every professional orchestral clarinet audition.

Orchestral ritornello: bars 1–56
Solo exposition: bars 57–154
Ritornello: bars 154–171
Development: bars 172–227
Ritornello: bars 227–250
Recapitulation: bars 251–343
Ritornello: bars 343–359

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major), K. 525, is a 1787 composition for a chamber ensemble by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. 

The German title means "a little serenade," though it is often rendered more literally but less accurately as "a little night music." The work is written for an ensemble of two violins, viola, and cello with optional double bass, but is often performed by string orchestras.

This first movement is in sonata-allegro form. It opens with an ascending Mannheim rocket theme. The second theme is more graceful and in D major, the dominant key of G major. 

The exposition closes in D major and is repeated. The development section begins on D major and touches on D minor and C major before the work returns to G major for the recapitulation. There is a brief coda.
