Lilian Farahani & Friends at Concertgebouw

‘Sometimes the reason for a concert programme is very simple: love of music,’ soprano Lilian Farahani tells us. Brahms, Barbara, Piazzolla and Bernstein: it's just a selection, the surprises are many. During her debut in the vocal series, Farahani brings her favourite music together with her favourite musicians.

Lilian Faharani & Friends
In addition to her musical partnership with pianist Maurice Lammerts van Bueren, Farahani has chosen to invite cellist Ella van Poucke. Why? ‘Because I think the cello is one of the most beautiful instruments there is, and because Ella is one of the best musicians in the Netherlands.’With this programme, Lilian Farahani brings her favourite music together with her favourite musicians: My Favorite Things.

My Favorite Things
‘Sometimes the reason for a concert programme is very simple,’ says soprano Lilian Farahani, ‘love of music’. My Favorite Things is a collection of pieces that touch her deeply, that make her heart beat faster, and with which she has a personal connection. No overarching theme, no hidden message, no attempt to shock or teach. ‘Just music that I love to sing or love the most.’
