Info zu Wunderkind Felix

Robert Schumann bezeichnete Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy als den Mozart des 19. Jahrhunderts, da er bereits in jungen Jahren sowohl das Klavierspiel als auch die Komposition beherrschte. Mit dem Album „Wunderkind Felix“ würdigen der Dirigent Patrick van der Linden und Ars Musica das frühe Werk des jungen Felix, der die Stücke im Alter zwischen 14 und 19 Jahren komponierte. Ars Musica präsentiert eine Neuorchestrierung der 1. Sinfonie für Kammerorchester, die die flexiblen Orchestrierungen von Mendelssohns Jugendwerken erkundet. Dazu erklingen die ebenso jugendliche Streichersinfonie Nr. 10 und sein Kyrie, aufgeführt vom Ars Musica Chorus und Orchester. Die Sopranistin Nanette Mans und der Ars Musica Chorus treten dem Orchester bei, um die Kantate „Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten“ und seine Vertonung von „Ave maris stella“ aufzuführen, die beide 1828 entstanden, als er erst 19 Jahre alt war.

Nanette Mans
studied Classical Singing at the Codarts conservatory with baritone Henk Neven. She can often be heard as a soloist in, among other pieces, Bach's Matthew Passion and Johannes Passion, Handel's Messiah, Vivaldi's Gloria and Magnificat, Mendelssohn's Psalm 42 and many cantatas.

Nanette is also very active in chamber music. Since 2018 she forms a soprano-organ duo with organist Gerben Budding and since 2019 a lied duo with pianist Mieke Verduijn and she regularly collaborates with other musicians. ​

​As a soloist, Nanette received masterclasses from Margreet Honig, Christianne Stotijn, Sophie Karthäuser and Marcel Reijans. In addition, she followed the Udo Reinemann International Masterclasses in Brussels together with pianist Mieke Verduijn.

Her passion for singing arose with ensemble singing, so Nanette has a lot of experience in this field and she can often be heard in an ensemble. She currently sings with Vocal Ensemble Piacevole (Gerben Budding), specialized in early music, the Cantores Martini (Remco de Graas) and the Ars Musica Chamber Choir (Patrick van der Linden).

Ars Musica Orchestra
The professional orchestral musicians of the Ars Musica Orchestra find each other in their passionate desire to make music. The orchestra is brimming with young talent; their pleasure in playing is palpable for the audience. The best basis for an impressive experience!

Led by chief conductor Patrick van der Linden, the orchestra plays programmes that make connections between geniuses like Bach and Beethoven and new eras. In this way, Ars Musica takes you on a musical journey. Besides its own programming, the Ars Musica Orchestra regularly fulfils an artistic role in a larger context, such as national commemorations or thematic celebrations.

Patrick van der Linden
is an inspired conductor and music theorist who inspires making music together. He studied choral conducting, orchestral conducting and music theory at various conservatories. At Rotterdam Conservatoire, he was identified as a high potential and graduated with distinction.

An analytically skilful and creative musician who is an idealistic optimist in life, he constantly undertakes initiatives to transfer knowledge of music during various musical projects. This drive and passion for music is in his genes; Patrick sang in choirs from childhood and was a choral conductor as early as sixth grade in high school.

In 2008, Patrick was the founder of Ars Musica, which grew up under his artistic direction. He is a principal with the Ars Musica Concert Choir, Chamber Choir and Orchestra. He also founded the chamber choir Canticum Amicorum and is active as conductor of the Zeeuws Vocal Ensemble, the Haags Toonkunstkoor and Merwe's Oratoriumvereniging. Working with and developing young musical talent is right up his street. His current teaching position at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague is therefore entirely in keeping with his musical career. He previously taught at Rotterdam Conservatoire (2013-2018).
