The program titled "Sea Fever" features a carefully curated collection of enchanting songs that revolve around the captivating theme of the sea and its various moods. It includes well-known works such as Schubert's poignant "Am Meer," Brahms' evocative "Meerfahrt," Finzi's thought-provoking "Channel Firing," and Ireland's stirring "Sea Fever." The musical journey ultimately concludes with Fauré's beautifully crafted "L'horizon chimérique," which expresses a profound French yearning for the sea and the romantic idea of sailing. In this exceptional program, baritone Tim Kuypers collaborates with the talented pianist Maurice Lammerts van Bueren for the very first time. Their shared passion and respect for the sea and its many inspirations made this thematic program a truly natural and harmonious choice.
