Sven Cilliers
Paradiso, Saturday, January 30 at 07:30 PM GMT+1
Contemporary pop from a South African-born singer-songwriterSven Cilliers is a South African-born artist based in the Netherlands. His music blends contemporary pop with a nostalgic undertone, featuring warm, cinematic productions, strong melodies and personal stories about love, friendship, freedom and the search for a place that feels like home.
From the age of fifteen, Cilliers built up his audience in his own unique way: in the queues outside venues such as Paradiso and the Ziggo Dome. With his so-called ‘lineshows’, he turned waiting concert-goers into his first audience. These spontaneous performances subsequently found their way online to an ever-growing community.
He has since released a series of his own singles and has opened for acts at Paradiso on several occasions. In January, he returns, for the first time with his own headline show.

KitKatClub: Kinks of Berlin (2026)
Melkweg, Saturday, October 24 at 09:00 PM GMT+2
In this new documentary, we immerse ourselves in the mysterious world of one of the most iconic clubs in the world – and accompany very different people through their Berlin nights. We meet Tim, alias Raven Van Krueger, who wants to make it big as a drag artist. Elisa discovers a new sexuality with her friends, a BDSM couple loves publicly, a dog play duo lives stability and excess, David tries to fight his way out of addiction. And club founder Simon seems out of step with the times – like many who once laid the foundations of the legendary KitKatClub. Performances, discussions about consent, tender conversations with fathers, encounters between bodies and souls. "KitKatClub: Kinks of Berlin" is a cinematic experience about freedom, intimacy, identity, sex, and unlearning shame—raw and poetic at the same time.
After the film you can party on for free at our new club Annie!

Cello-/pianoconcert door Noam Staal en Hanke Scheffer
Theater de Richel, Saturday, September 19 at 08:00 PM GMT+2
Programma:
Ludwig van Beethoven: Cellosonate nr. 1 in F majeur, op. 5 nr. 1 (1796), Adagio sostenuto – Allegro, Rondo: Allegro vivace.
Dmitri Shostakovich: Cellosonate in d klein, op. 40 (1934), Allegro non troppo, Allegro, Largo, Allegro.
Leoš Janáček – Pohádka (Sprookje) voor cello en piano, Con moto – Andante, Con moto – Adagio, Allegro.
De eerste cellosonate van Ludwig van Beethoven is revolutionair omdat de cello hier voor het eerst een gelijkwaardige partner van de piano is.
Bij Dmitri Sjostakovitsj hoor je hoe diezelfde combinatie een ruime eeuw later – in een andere wereld – rauw en ironisch kan klinken, met humor en grote contrasten.
Janacek liet zich voor dit stuk inspireren door “Het verhaal van tsaar Berendej” van Vasili Zjoekovski.
Noam Staal en Hanke Scheffer spelen al sinds hun studietijd in Zwolle (2015) samen.
Hanke Scheffer (Doetinchem, 1994) studeerde in 2019 af voor haar master klassiek piano aan het ArtEZ Conservatorium te Zwolle. Haar docenten waren Frank Peters en Frank van de Laar.
Samen met Tamara Laverman vormt ze het pianoduo Rabbit&Haas met wie ze in 2023 haar debuut-cd ‘Celestial scrAps’ opnam. Zij specialiseren zich in hedendaagse klassieke muziek.
Naast klassiek repertoire is Hanke werkzaam in het muziektheater/musicalgenre.
Noam Staal (Amsterdam 1987) begon met cello spelen op 5-jarige leeftijd en kreeg vervolgens 10 jaar les van Jaap Franken aan de Muziekschool Amsterdam. Hij vervolgde zijn opleiding bij Jeroen den Herder aan het conservatorium van Amsterdam en rondde zijn studie af met een master bij Karlien Bartels in Zwolle in 2017.
Hij is oprichter van Libero Ensemble, een strijkorkest dat uit het hoofd optreedt. Met Berta Garcia Sanz vormt hij Duo Cellousy, een veelzijdig cello duo dat de luisteraar verleidt met tango’s, popmuziek en klassieke muziek.
Sinds 2021 bespeelt hij een prachtige cello, gemaakt door de Nederlandse bouwer Saskia Schouten naar een model van Rugeri uit 2007.
