Information and booking

Literature &amp; Music at MuziekSalon Spronk.In October, the new season of Literature &amp; Music begins again. During this month, the focus in stories and music is on a book. Sometimes 'classics' and sometimes books that hum around you, so you definitely must read them. The live music on cello (Astrid Schijns) and piano (Jetje van Wijk) aims to enhance the atmosphere and expressiveness of the book with carefully selected pieces, creating an organic whole. The narrator is Jetje van Wijk.During the first edition of this season, the most recent book by Stefan Hertmans, 'DIUS', is central. You do not need to have read the book.About DIUS When the young artist Dius visits his ten years older university lecturer in art history, Anton, and offers him his unconditional friendship, everything in their lives begins to shift. Both are sensitive souls with their longing for the space of the polders, for sublime painting, beauty in music and art, for another time… It is an extraordinary novel about friendship and vulnerability, and the enchanting world of art. ‘... Hertmans’ words get under the skin, they speak the shivering of feelings... A small miracle because only great writers can do that. Hertmans is one of them…’ Le MondeWhen:<ul><li>Monday 6 October 14:30 – 16:00: Concert Hall Nieuwe Veste, Molenstraat 6, Breda</li><li>Wednesday 8 October 20:00 – 21:30: at Het Gele Huis, Haagsemarkt 6 behind, Princenhage</li><li>Thursday 09 October, 15:00 – 16:00: Cultureel Centerum de Nobelaer, Parklaan 2, Etten-Leur</li></ul>Doors open half an hour before the start.
