Info for Wanderer

Tobias shows the listener around a private exhibition, featuring his favourite music. Although the pianist chose the pieces, Borsboom invites the audience to form their own associations between them. Against the backdrop of the theme of the wanderer, searching for meaning, he presents a wide range of works by Schubert, Chopin, Sciarrino, Liebermann, Ter Veldhuis and Vigh. Modern and classical, contemplative and animated, melodic and rhythmic: Tobias Borsboom always creates an intense atmosphere that will leave listeners breathlessly asking for more.
