Wie-kent Splendor: Kinderparade
Get to know Splendor's instruments
In 2024, Splendor will be 11 years old and our beloved Badhuis (bathhouse) will be 101 years old. Of course we won't let this go unnoticed! To celebrate these memorable anniversaries, Splendor will be packed with festivities during the Wie-kent Splendor weekend from December 12 to 15.
On this festive afternoon, the Splendor musicians present their best skills for everyone, young and old. Because it doesn't matter whether you are 3 or 83 to enjoy music, on Saturday afternoon you will not only get to know the musicians, but also their instruments. Come and listen and who knows, you might be able to play the air violin, blow on a garden hose or crack some pepernoten.
Instruments: percussion, cello, violin, trombone, electronics, piano, horn and vocals:
Marieke de Bruijn, Mattijs van de Woerd, Thomas Myrmel, Michiel Weidner, Bart de Vrees, Antonii Baryshevskyi
Member concerts in Splendor
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!
If you are coming to meet Splendor for the first time, buy a 'Kennismakertje' (introduction ticket) for €5! Very welcome!
