Maayan Licht & BREZZA

Sopranista Maayan Licht, recently awarded the title 'Best Newcomer' at the Oper! Awards, performs virtuoso arias by Handel, Vivaldi and Porpora. The ensemble BREZZA, winner of the audience award at the International Van Wassenaer Competition 2024, accompanies him and adds improvised preludes between the arias. This combination of virtuoso masterpieces and spontaneous creations by young top talents promises a dazzling adventure.

Maayan Licht & BREZZA – Handel in motion (Sunday 31 August 17:00 hrs, TivoliVredenburg / Hertz)

A while ago, I heard Maayan Licht for the first time. Not in concert, but on social media. A sopranista, he knows how to amaze many online with what he can do with his voice - even young people less familiar with the genre. And how good he is! He performs fantastic arias and also with an appropriate dose of humour. In this concert also together with BREZZA, the young ensemble that won several prizes at the International Van Wassenaers Concours last year. I am enormously looking forward to this combination, it will undoubtedly be a great concert!

About the performers

Founded during its members' time at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, BREZZA is a versatile ensemble specialising in historically informed performances of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century music. This includes the entire repertoire for flute and basso continuo, trio sonatas and self-made arrangements. The combination of three instruments (viola da gamba, traverso and harpsichord) plays a crucial role. The use of original instruments or their replicas and a thorough study of performance practice using various treatises and sources are ingredients for BREZZA's main goal: to achieve a performance as close as possible to each composer's original conception.
