The Plantagekerk on Stationslaan in Harderwijk opens its doors for PodiumPlantage, with a lunch concert and an evening concert. Visitors will enjoy Baroque music by the ensemble Che Bel Suono and a Mendelssohn program by the choir Ad Hocus, with a free lunch preceding the afternoon concert.
Lunch Concert Wandering Through Europe
Prior to the afternoon program, concertgoers are offered a free lunch. Following this, the ensemble Che Bel Suono will perform, featuring harpsichordist and organist Dick Boer and traverso player Henk Schuurman. The program *Wandering Through Europe* brings together lesser-known eighteenth-century composers, including Mahaut from the Netherlands, Pepusch from England, Leclair from France, and Barsanti from Italy. Admission is free.
Evening concert with choir Ad Hocus
In the evening, a Mendelssohn program will be performed by the Ad Hocus choir under the direction of Anne-Marieke Evers. Diederik Blankensteijn plays the organ and soprano Rosa Ligtermoet performs as a soloist. The program includes Psalm 42 and Hear my Prayer, among others. This concert is also free to attend, with a collection at the door afterwards.
Music in a monumental church
The combination of Baroque chamber music and Romantic choral works makes PodiumPlantage a varied musical program within the characteristic Plantagekerk.
