Ralph van Raat & Kader Abdolah
This concert features a combination of the stories of Kader Abdolah, who came from Iran to The Netherlands in 1988 as a political refugee, and Charles Koechlin’s Les heures persanes. In reality Koechlin, who was a pupil of Gabriel Fauré and the teacher of Francis Poulenc, never set foot on Persian territory; but the oriental impressions, played by contemporary music specialist Ralph van Raat, definitely spark imagination.
