Works by J.S. Bach, Carl Reinecke, Ian Clark, Daniel Dorff, and Amanda Harberg, as well as original compositions and arrangements by the participating flautists, promise an exciting, varied, and vibrant concert program.

A mother-daughter quartet invites you, young and old, on a journey.
What is born when night falls? What changes when the first star shines, or when the moon appears with its ever-changing face?
There is silence, there are stories to tell, lights to create for keeping watch or celebrating. Does the immensity of space become more tangible?
Blending impressionistic music, movement, and poetic texts, June Allender, Sara Boesch, Sophia Dinkel, and Zoé Sjollema offer an exploration of the themes of night and the cosmos.
