Join the female vocal quartet NEREID—Esther, Lara, Sofie, and Eloïne—for their third concert, Over Hill, Over Dale, exploring of the tender balance between light and longing. Dedicated to exploring the richness of female vocal harmony, NEREID brings together a varied program that weaves together classical, traditional, and contemporary styles.

 

At the heart of this project is a unique collaboration between voice and harp, featuring the talented harpist Hanna Vandergoten. Together, they create a delicate dance between the ethereal and the intimate.

 

The central pieces of this program are Gustav Holst’s mystical Hymn to the Rig Vega, inspired by ancient Sanskrit texts, and the radiant lyricism of Amy Beach’s Three Shakespeare Songs, drawn from A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Tempest.

 

The repertoire further unfolds with traditional melodies and heartfelt arrangements of contemporary pop songs that hold special meaning for the quartet.

 

The concert will take place on Saturday 27th September at 8pm, at the Christusgemeente Protestantse kerk of Antwerpen. We are looking forward to see you!
