Het Consort

Carlo Aonzo & Het CONSORT – A Weekend of Mandolin Music

During the weekend of 28 and 29 March 2026, renowned Italian mandolin virtuoso Carlo Aonzo and the Mandolin Chamber Orchestra Het CONSORT, conducted by Alex Timmerman, will present two special concerts. The programme features two original concert works for mandolin solo and orchestra; a rare opportunity to hear these seldom‑performed compositions live.

Two concerts, two masterworks

Before the intermission, audiences will hear the elegant Mandolin Concerto by late‑18th‑century composer Johann Andreas Kauchlitz Colizzi.
After the break, a remarkable moment follows: the premiere of the Concerto OIPA’ for mandolin solo and mandolin orchestra by Italian composer Salvatore Della Vecchia. This new work was written especially for Carlo Aonzo, Alex Timmerman, and Het CONSORT, and will be performed for the very first time during this weekend.

A rich and varied programme

In addition to the concertos by Colizzi and Della Vecchia, the programme includes works by:

• Antonio Vivaldi
• Raffaele Calace
• Franz Schubert
• Stephan Rak

A diverse selection that beautifully showcases the versatility of the mandolin and the richness of its repertoire. Concerts that promise to be two exceptional musical events, featuring both historical repertoire and a brand‑new composition receiving its world premiere.

Join us for a remarkable musical weekend; Everyone is warmly welcome!

Entry is 15 Euro. Free for children 12 and under.
