Tour de Chanson
Nieuwe Kerk in Den HaagGeert-Jan van Beijeren — The chansons of Matthias Kadar tell his personal life-story. He sings them in the four languages that sum up the course of his life: German, French, Hungarian and Dutch. In collaboration with the Nederlands Kamerkoor he presents his own work and arrangements of existing chansons. He confronts us with Schubert as a chansonnier and Brel as a composer of lieder. In his own compositions Matthias is both, and by this means he makes connections with both 20th-century chansons and those of earlier times.
