On Saturday August 31th, Hanna Devich and Matangi Quartet will be performing on the Uitmarkt 2013 in Amsterdam, the cultural start of the season.

The Orgelpark is the place to be if you want to see Challenge artists because Matangi Quartet will play at 14.30-15.00 hours and Hanna Devich at 16.00 -16.30 hours.

Hanna Devich is a true advocate to the repertoire of the worldfamous composer Ludovico Einaudi. This year she released the album 'Nightbook' on Challenge Classics, her first solo album. So far she is the only pianist worldwide that recorded this music on CD - besides Einaudi himself - and she already sold a lot of cd's because people just love this music!

Matangi Quartet present their new CD on the Uitmarkt which is called 'Haydn’s Nature'. It is hommage to the energizing liveliness of Joseph Haydn and also a wink at his way of loving nature: the quartet will play the stringquartets 'The Bird' and 'Sunrise'. Matangi Quartet has a busy program on the 31st because it will also be playing at the Concertgebouw at 18.00-18.30 hours!

On September 1st, the second day of the Uitmarkt another Challenge artist willplay at the Orgelpark: pianist Bert van den Brink. He willplay a program called 'Blowing'. It is Jazz & Pop music on a church organ with for instanceBohemian Rhapsody of Queen, jazz standards and original compositions by Bert van den Brink himself.

So a lot of beautiful music coming weekend!
