Lying concert with Jeroen van Veen

Imagine: the serene atmosphere of the majestic Laurenskerk in Rotterdam, dim candlelight dancing gently on the historic walls, and a warm, intimate ambiance that invites you to close your eyes, sink into softness and find total relaxation on one of the comfortable berths (the church has underfloor heating).
This evening has 2 concerts.

Best of Einaudi (19:30 hrs)
On this unique evening, full of Christmas magic, you will be taken on a musical journey by the Italian master of minimalist music: Ludovico Einaudi. With master pianist Jeroen van Veen at the grand piano, you will experience Einaudi’s most beautiful compositions like never before. Van Veen, famous for his virtuoso interpretations and his engaging playing style, brings Einaudi’s meditative and refined sounds to life, especially for this enchanting Christmas edition of his lying down concerts. From “Nuvole Bianche” to “Una Mattina” and “Experience” – well-known melodies flow together to create a peaceful symphony, perfectly matching the Christmas spirit.
Let Einaudi’s music fill your heart, enlighten your thoughts, and transport you to a place of peace, connection, and inner peace. This recumbent concert is an opportunity to leave the hectic pace of the holidays behind for a while, and to lose yourself in a pure, musical Christmas experience.

Canto Ostinato (22:00 hrs)
Let yourself be enveloped by the mystical sounds of Canto Ostinato, an iconic minimalist masterpiece by the Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt. This unique experience is brought to life by the master pianists Jeroen van Veen and Sandra Mol, together with Aart Bergwerff on the impressive transept organ of the Laurenskerk.
Canto Ostinato is a musical journey that gives space for reflection, serenity and inner reflection. Ten Holt created a hypnotic soundscape with a repeating, subtly changing pattern that feels like a musical mantra. In this performance, the warm sounds of the grand pianos and the majestic organ come together in an enchanting dialogue that spreads through the centuries-old vaults of the Laurenskerk.
