Ledenconcert Maarten Ornstein
What are we all going to do this year?
In his annual presentation for the Splendor members, Maarten Ornstein talks -using live musical examples- about the projects he is currently working on: the song cycle Tell it to the Sky, the new BACH CD with Mike Fentross, and the opera Escape in Ecstasy. With music by, among others, Bach, Colon de Bethune and Maarten Ornstein himself.
Afterwards, we’ll raise a glass with our very best wishes for the new year.

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!
