Jörgen van Rijen - Broeders
Brotherhood, tango, trombone, poetry and serenity
Three extraordinary musicians enter into a musical alliance. Principal trombonist of the Concertgebouw Orchestra Jörgen van Rijen is always looking for new sounds and collaborations; Kay Sleking is a multi-instrumentalist and visual artist; Gery Mendes is an actor, musician and lyricist. Accompanied by string players from the orchestra and other musicians, this unique brotherhood brings together poetry, Latin American dance rhythms, layered composition and spoken word. A central element is the looping technique, which allows musicians to play duets with themselves. It promises to be an exciting concert!

Member concert
Splendor can only be the independent and free hub that it is, thanks to the members who support us. We pay them back with our specialty: music. Every year, all Splendor musicians play one concert that's free for this crucial group to whom Splendor owes its everyday existence. Combined with many other events, this means that our members have free entrance to about 80 concerts a year for €9,99 p/m (and €4,99 p/m for minima and students!) – and receive a discount for all other concerts. Pretty good deal, right?
The members enable Splendor to remain independent, which is the only way to secure real freedom in programming, experimentation, risk-taking and the promotion of young, upcoming artists. If you can think of another place without a central programming, where last-minute concerts can be planned any moment, where there is no backstage and artists and audience are constantly mingling and hanging out at the bar, where mysterious creative outbursts can be presented that are often labeled 'too risky' elsewhere, and that still guarantees high quality by unleashing the best of The Netherlands' music scene in this creative playground – you get a free membership!
