Geert Mak & Ramon van Engelenhoven Amerika: een democratie gered

In the week of the important midterm elections in the United States, Geert Mak takes us back a century, when democracy in America was under severe pressure. Roosevelt guided the US through a decisive period with his New Deal. Ramon van Engelenhoven plays compositions by Gershwin, Copland, Stravinsky, and Korngold in which the social and political developments resonated. A fascinating evening in which argument and music alternate seamlessly.
