In 2022, the carillon can be heard regularly again over the Moordrecht roofs. Our ‘house carillonneur’ Midori Conneman regularly takes place behind the baton keyboard and former carillonneur Maarten Siebel also regularly puts the carillon to work from Berlin with new sounds via the carillon computer. In addition, the following scheduled events took place:
Wednesday, April 27, Midori Conneman played on King’s Day prior to the aubade.
Saturday, June 18, Midori Conneman played during the Moordrecht fair.
On Saturday, August 20, Boudewijn Zwart, one of the Netherlands’ most famous carillonneurs (also pianist), together with our own carillonneur, Midori Connenan, concluded the first event Saturday during Mediterras Moordrecht in a special way. With Boudewijn at street level behind the piano and Midori high up in the tower behind the carillon, the two played Mediterranean music together. The dreamy sounds sounded through the streets and over the roofs of Moordrecht.
On Saturday September 3, Boudewijn Zwart (piano), Wim Ruitenbeek (carillon) and Hans Broekhuijzen (saxophone) played together the final chord of Mediterrean Moordrecht 2022. The hour-long concert, in which the three musicians (literally) played at different heights, became – how appropriate also – closed with the melancholy ‘Hijo de la luna’ (‘Son of the moon’) by the Spanish band Mecano.
Saturday 10 September Midori played ‘Kunst Na De Arbeid’ together with Harmonie during open monument day
Friday, October 14, about 75 visitors were able to enjoy beautiful music in the Dorpskerk. Boudewijn Zwart not only brought along beautiful instruments (his chest organ and chamber carillon), but he was also accompanied by organist Gerben Budding, oboist Theo-Hans Kuijvenhoven and cellist Judith Groen. The passion for music and for the extraordinary instruments drove this fun and beautiful music evening.
On Wednesday, October 26, the carillon played together with the church organ. Kees, the regular organist from Moordrecht played the organ together with a guest organist and Midori played the carillon. Below you’ll find an impression of the organ playing.
