Rising pop star Anna Calvi is coming to Amsterdam for a special concert with the Dutch Metropole Orchestra. Famed for her operatic song, her virtuoso guitar playing and her theatrical stage presence, her fans include Brian Eno, Nick Cave and David Byrne. Amongst her own favourites are Captain Beefheart, Maria Callas and the composer Olivier Messiaen. At this concert, Calvi’s distinctive songs will sound somewhat different, featuring new orchestral versions of tracks from her Mercury nominated albums Anna Calvi (2011) and One Breath (2013) as well as from her recent EP Strange Weather. Calvi will be accompanied by her band, the Metropole Orchestra and a choir in what promises to be a spectacular indie-noir concert.

During the last festival weekend, the Holland Festival will present a new, one-day mini festival inspired by the famous Proms. The festival will feature a thrilling line-up, running from the afternoon until the early hours of the night. As befits any promenade concert, including this one at the Concertgebouw, the seats are taken out of the stalls, allowing the audience to walk around and move to the music freely. The programme starts off with an adventurous, family friendly programme, then explores the depths in classical and contemporary music, and finally concludes with an exciting pop concert. The party is then continued in other parts of the building, so it promises to be a lively affair at the Concertgebouw, right into the small hours. programme lyrics concert 2 and 3
