Hadewych van Gent: Resonances

Cellist and vocalist Hadewych van Gent presents Resonances at de Doelen in Rotterdam on Sunday 29 November 2026. This intimate concert explores the relationship between the human voice and the cello, combining classical music with influences from folk traditions around the world.

In Resonances, Hadewych van Gent approaches singing and cello playing as two equally expressive musical voices. Sometimes the instruments respond to one another in dialogue, while at other moments their sounds merge into a single musical texture.

Drawing inspiration from traditional melodies and the musical heritage of different cultures, the performance explores how music travels across borders and generations, adapting and transforming while retaining connections to its origins.

Exploring the roots of music

Together with her ensemble, Van Gent investigates the echoes of folk music within classical composition. Ancient melodies and contemporary interpretations come together in a programme that highlights the relationship between musical traditions from different periods and places.

The repertoire includes music associated with composers Hildegard von Bingen, Rebecca Clarke and Fazıl Say, alongside expressive cello passages and vocal performances.

With its combination of instrumental virtuosity and atmospheric storytelling, Resonances invites audiences to experience the connections between musical cultures in an intimate concert setting.
