Tippett, A Child of Our Time
Vaughan Williams, Dona Nobis Pacem
Michael Tippett's A Child of Our Time (1941) and Ralph Vaughan Williams' Dona Nobis Pacem (1936) are two monumental works that both convey powerful messages of hope and peace. Tippett's and Vaughan Williams' works are very different in style, but both composers use impressive choruses and orchestrations to raise the human voice against the challenges of their time – and ours.
We perform both works with the Toonkunstkoor Amsterdam.
The conductor is Boudewijn Jansen.
The orchestra
The Orchestra Amsterdam is an amateur symphony orchestra with passionate and advanced musicians. Led by conductor Jacob Slagter and in collaboration with occasional soloists, the Orchestra performs a varied program three times a year. From large symphonic works to modern compositions and film music.
Jacob Slagter
Jacob Slagter has been leading the Orchestra since 2014. We are very happy that Jacob gives our orchestra a wonderful evening every week with his drive, inspiration and jokes, and manages to bring our playing to musical heights during the concerts.
