As part of Venray’s Theehuis Concerten series, Damask presents a modern masterpiece, David Lang’s Little Match Girl Passion for four singers each playing percussion. This substantial work tells the Hans Christian Andersen story of an innocent girl’s death through the structure of a Bach Passion, with chorale-like sections reflection on her plight, an “Evangelist” narrative style, and a haunting final chorus. This contemplative program, performed without interval, strongly affects audiences of all ages and musical backgrounds and is a worthy counterpart to the more grand and well-known Passion repertoire.
Due to Covid restrictions, we will perform this programme twice, both times with smaller audiences; firstly at 2pm and then once again at 4pm.
