“Circe, in a thrilling play by Aftab Darvishi; Medea, torn apart in a monologue in the style of a ‘contemporary opera’ by Annelies Van Parys; and Penelope, staged by Calliope Tsoupaki against an authentic Eastern backdrop. The other two plays, which are equally captivating, are about women with a historical destiny.”

“The most captivating highlight is Medea (Annelies Van Parys) […] The Ragazze Quartet, Dain and guest clarinettist Anna voor de Wind sound spine-chilling from start to finish”

“We wanted to create space for women’s voices and for the possibilities within their stories” – Ragazze Quartet in The Strad

“The festival feels like a love letter from the Ragazze Quartet to the audience”

“Brand-new music that sounds as though it’s always been there”

“[…] blood is thicker than water. Relatively small ensembles such as Klang, the Ragazze Quartet, and Holland Baroque have emerged as new pillars.”

“Breathtakingly beautiful on a wonderful evening at the theater.”

"Memories of Trees played insanely beautiful with the landscape […], with the slow darkening and with the instruments made of wood they played on and with which they communicated with the ancestors, namely the trees there in the forest. Incredibly beautiful, fairy-like and wonderfully lit"

"I was blown away by The World's Wife. It was the very first time I saw a trans singer on stage during a classical work. It touched me tremendously"

‘The long musical lines […] deliver a concentrated atmosphere, deepening as darkness falls and the birds settle down.’
