Ferdinand Binnendijk, a mandolin master student, convincingly won the Audience Prize during the finals of the Grachtenfestival Conservatorium Concours 2015. And this happened after the festival decided to use the mandolin in the campaign image. How about that for a wonderful coincidence?
Together with harpist Suzanne Zijderveld, they form Duo Corelli.
The concert will take place in the Militiegebouw on the Singel. Originally built as an arsenal to the civic guard, around the time the new city walls were constructed, in 1609. The building is also part of the Stelling van Amsterdam. During World War I, it was here that the families of mobilized soldiers could claim their household allowance.
Dit concert wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door Stichting Ambassadeurs van het Grachtenfestival
