On Saturday afternoon 27 February The Musyck Room, our live programme featuring early music, will open again!
The recordings will take place from 14:00 CET at the Dekenkapel of the Pieterskerk in Utrecht. We are honoured to receive the following guests: Camerata Trajectina, Fantasticus and countertenor Kaspar Kröner.
This edition of The Musyck Room will primarily centre around the recently deceased Louis Peter Grijp.
Further we will receive young musicians who have recently released or will soon release CDs.
