Harmonious

Especially in the summer, there is a lot of attention for LHBTi emancipation in the Netherlands these days.  Pink Saturdays, Pride festivals: celebrating that you can be who you are and can love who you want. Something that should be self-evident but still is not. In Harmonious, we will be performing works by composers who have openly admitted to loving people of the same sex.
