What a memorable master series finale of this season with Sinfonia Rotterdam and the truly amazing Pretty Yende!! She warmed our hearts and inspired us with her beautiful singing and personality. Bravo to our orchestra on top form! And what better way to close the season than with the genius music of Mozart. Feeling grateful and privileged.

A very special season finale in Rotterdam.
On Saturday 6 June 2026, I have the great honour of closing the Sinfonia Rotterdam season in the Grand Hall of de Doelen with the extraordinary soprano Pretty Yende.
This evening holds particular meaning for me. Pretty and I both come from South Africa, and her remarkable journey from Piet Retief to the world’s greatest stages is deeply inspiring. With her radiant artistry, she has captivated audiences at the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, the Royal Opera House, the Coronation of King Charles III, and the reopening of Notre-Dame in Paris.
Together with Sinfonia Rotterdam, we will present an all-Mozart programme, with Pretty Yende bringing some of Mozart’s most beautiful arias to life. This music calls for elegance, purity, joy and humanity — and few artists embody these qualities so naturally.
I am proud and grateful to welcome Pretty to Rotterdam, and I look forward to sharing this special evening with our audience.
