Winner of the GrachtenfestivalPrijs in 2011, mezzo-soprano Karin Strobos is the epitome of a Grachtenfestival artist. She has given various exceptional performances at past festival editions, from concerts in the open air to recitals in intimate period rooms. In this programme with six works about love and transience, she is accompanied by the other half of her successful duo, pianist Else Sterk. Among the pieces to be played is the beautiful ‘Les nuits d’été’ by the French Romantic composer Berlioz.
