Behind the Music of 'Nachtwacht'

The explosive combination of theater, dance and music called 'Nachtwacht' will arrive in Amsterdam at the ITA on April 10-12 after gathering five-star reviews and sold-out performances. The music from this extraordinary 3 1/2 hour show is composed and arranged by Splendor composers Luke Deane and David Dramm. Luke was tasked with writing music based on the themes of the show based on its script while David took over during the rehearsal process working on the floor with the singers, dancers, actors and musicians.

With 27 performers on stage 'Nachtwacht' is one of the largest and most complex productions in the history of NITE. David and Luke take you through their working process and, of course, the music itself as it transformed throughout the months of preparation. With special footage and audio from rehearsals, the Behind the Music of 'Nachtwacht' offers an in-depth look at a collaboration which contributed to what the Volkskrant called "imposing total theater."

Presentatie: David Dramm & Luke Deane

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 over 50 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!
