Ledenconcert Bart de Vrees
A concert, performance and exhibition all in one!On what will probably be a chilly December Sunday afternoon, I’ll be bringing together a concert, performance, exhibition and the launch of my very first zine!
Together with my fellow Splendor musicians and friends Mattijs and Antonii, I’ll be performing previously unperformed compositions of my own. I’ll also be playing works by other composers that have been on my wish list for quite some time, including Lárus Grímsson and Ruud Roelofsen.
Alongside an afternoon full of music, I’ll be presenting my first zine Soms is het raak maar meestal is het mis (Sometimes It Hits the Mark, but Most of the Time It Misses), filled with drawings, collages and small paintings. The concert hall will be transformed into a proper exhibition space.
The audience will also be invited to get to work, with the premiere of my latest composition, denkstuk (a piece for thought), written for an audience that thinks.

Member concert
Splendor can only be the independent and free hub that it is, thanks to the members who support us. We pay them back with our specialty: music. Every year, all Splendor musicians play one concert that's free for this crucial group to whom Splendor owes its everyday existence. Combined with many other events, this means that our members have free entrance to over 50 concerts a year for €9,99 p/m (and €4,99 p/m for minima and students!) – and receive a discount for all other concerts. Pretty good deal, right?
The members enable Splendor to remain independent, which is the only way to secure real freedom in programming, experimentation, risk-taking and the promotion of young, upcoming artists. If you can think of another place without a central programming, where last-minute concerts can be planned any moment, where there is no backstage and artists and audience are constantly mingling and hanging out at the bar, where mysterious creative outbursts can be presented that are often labeled 'too risky' elsewhere, and that still guarantees high quality by unleashing the best of The Netherlands' music scene in this creative playground – you get a free membership!
