BBC Arts Hour on Tour in Amsterdam

Join the BBC for a very special, Amsterdam based recording of its world-renowned radio programme, The Arts Hour on Tour.

The BBC’s Nikki Bedi will be on stage at the Tobacco Theatre to hear how about how artists, writers and film-makers are reflecting life in the fast changing and increasingly multicultural city.  Nikki will be hearing about how the Dutch aesthetic has made a global impact and asking whether Amsterdam, with its international reputation as a liberal city, has been affected by the rise of the political right in The Netherlands.

Nikki will be joined on stage by writer Herman Koch, author of the international hit The Dinner, film director Martin Koolhoven whose first English language film, the Western Brimstone, captivated audiences and architect Ellen van Loon, whose ground breaking work has exported the Dutch aesthetic to the rest of the world.

With comedy from star of the Dutch stand-up circuit Said El Hassnaoui, and live music from the best performance talent in the city

The 50und of Fiumara: Amstel Quartet

Koop je tickets hier!

In 2018 is Anthony Fiumara 50 jaar geworden. Een mooie aanleiding om deze Nederlandse componist extra in het zonnetje te zetten. De komende periode worden twee concerten georganiseerd in TOBACCO, waarbij de muziek van Fiumara centraal staat – naast die van zijn geestverwant, de Amerikaanse componist Philip Glass. Elk concert begint met muziek van Fiumara en eindigt met Glass. Daartussen speelt elk gezelschap werk van andere componisten.

De concertreeks begint op zondag 30 september in het TOBACCO Theater met de vier saxofonisten van het Amstel Quartet.

Pianist Feico Deutekom speelt op zondag 25 november. 

The 50und of Fiumara! wordt georganiseerd door TOBACCO Theater, in samenwerking met Anthony Fiumara en Cor Knoester (Hommage Philip Glass).
