Sound stories and fantasies

Stefan Temmingh & Margret Köll

Tickets

Music from five centuries and six countries, played on nine recorders and two harps: “Sound Stories and Fantasies”, the new project by two masters of their craft, recorder player Stefan Temmingh and baroque harpist Margret Koell, is a plea for diversity: full of curiosity and a sense of adventure, with a variety of genres and styles, the two invite their listeners to discover these musical stories! It is a work of art created over many years, consisting of songs, sonatas, variation cycles, dance movements and supple­mented by fantasies — almost like one of the more colorful programs of the 19th century.
