Concert 'Nieuw Licht' met diner

In their new program 'Nieuw Licht' (New Light), Duo Saraswati explores lesser-known Indonesian repertoire, combining it with César Franck’s colorful cello sonata. Brothers Jan and Kris van der Plas grew up in Berkel-Enschot and studied in Amsterdam; thanks to their Balinese mother, they have always maintained a strong connection to Indonesia. In 2024, they released their debut CD, *Srikandi*, which was named one of the year's best albums by *NRC*. A hallmark of their programs is the blending of Western classical repertoire with their own arrangements of Indonesian pieces; in 'Nieuw Licht', for instance, they present their own arrangement of a traditional Balinese gamelan work.
