Een muzikale groet uit het Dolhuis
Greetings from the madhouse, consolation during the winterblues
Now that the festivities at the end of the year are passed by, the nights seem endless and wind, rain and cold plaque the country, the human mind is at its most vulnerable. Gloom, depression even, is lurking. Music gives comfort in times of sorrow and so baritone Jan Willem Baljet and pianist Jeroen Snijder are bringing an encouraging program with songs by composers who struggled with their mental health and who ended in an mental institution or songs which describe the first depressive person or the most famous madman in the world literature.
Heavy stuff? No, not at all! But consoling, loving, humorous and warm!
Jan Willem Baljet baritone

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!
