The musical workshop Splendor and the Rembrandthuis Museum are presenting a concert series in which the musicians are inspired by the art in the museum.
Rembrandt lived on the most creative street in Amsterdam, the Jodenbreestraat. Not only did a large number of painters live close to each other there, the neighborhood also offered a lot of musical entertainment: daily carillons rang from the church towers and organists played public concerts in churches. Various music lovers and musicians had their homes there, and violinmakers built their instruments there. There was also an exchange between painting and music: music inspired artists to create their paintings, and conversely, painters immortalized musicians in their performances.
On November 15 and 29, Splendor and Museum Rembrandthuis will bring the exchange of 17th-century art and music back. In exclusive concerts, musicians from the musical collective Splendor reflect on the artworks in the Rembrandthuis. You will experience music that Rembrandt may have heard, but also contemporary musical interpretations. Let yourself be carried away by the sounds of then and now, at Rembrandt’s home.
