As a prelude to the De Muze van Zuid (The Muse of South Amsterdam) festival, a concert will take place at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam as part of the exhibition Living in the Amsterdam School. The festival also focuses on this architectural style, which flourished in the period between 1910 and 1930 and numerous examples of which can be found in the Amsterdam-Zuid district.

During the festival, which takes place throughout weekend, two concerts will take place at locations with Amsterdam School-inspired interiors. Musical walking tours are organized on 21 and 22 May, illustrating the urban developments in the area surrounding the Concertgebouw.

For this concert at the Stedelijk Museum, Ensemble Lumaka has created a program of music from the period of the Amsterdam School. They will play the Sonata for flute and harp by Sem Dresden, Nocturne for cello and harp by Henriëtte Bosmans and the Quintet for flute, violin, viola, cello and harp by Leo Smit. The curator of the exhibition, Ingeborg de Roode, will give a brief introduction.
