Francien Schatborn

This September, Francien Schatborn and Floor leCoultre will travel to Semarang, on the north coast of Java, where they’ve been invited to perform at the Kota Lama Festival. They will appear both as a duo and in collaboration with the Orchestra Kota Lama, a special ensemble founded by Johnny Rahaket for the occasion. In addition to performing, they will give lessons and masterclasses to the orchestra members and other local musicians.

On 28 June, during Francien’s members’ concert, you’ll get a sneak peek of their tour repertoire:

Mozart Duo in G
Sibelius Duo
Martinu: 3 Madrigals
Bach: Inventions
And a Dutch work from 2003:
2 Parts by Martijn Voorvelt

Floor leCoultre – violin
Francien Schatborn – viola

Member concert
Splendor can only be the independent and free hub that it is, thanks to the members who support us. We pay them back with our specialty: music. Every year, all Splendor musicians play one concert that's free for this crucial group to whom Splendor owes its everyday existence. Combined with many other events, this means that our members have free entrance to over 50 concerts a year for €9,99 p/m (and €4,99 p/m for minima and students!) – and receive a discount for all other concerts. Pretty good deal, right?

The members enable Splendor to remain independent, which is the only way to secure real freedom in programming, experimentation, risk-taking and the promotion of young, upcoming artists. If you can think of another place without a central programming, where last-minute concerts can be planned any moment, where there is no backstage and artists and audience are constantly mingling and hanging out at the bar, where mysterious creative outbursts can be presented that are often labeled 'too risky' elsewhere, and that still guarantees high quality by unleashing the best of The Netherlands' music scene in this creative playground – you get a free membership!
