UNDERSTANDING
Language as both bridge and barrier. In this special performance, Dutch-Canadian soprano Elisabeth Hetherington—winner of the Dutch Music Prize—explores the moments where words fail and emotional connection begins. Together with the ensemble Het Muziek, she presents a program of love songs and contemporary works that examine how language can connect or isolate us. The evening features a diverse repertoire ranging from Claude Vivier's invented languages to a world premiere by Rozalie Hirs, whose music balances mathematical precision with spiritual depth.
