the many within
“How many yous have you been?
How many,
Lined up inside,
Each killing the last.”
The Many Within, featuring the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra and soprano Chen Reiss, is a concert journey inspired by the poetry of Kae Tempest. In Hold Your Own they explore the multitudes we carry within ourselves. With works from Bach to Korngold, Reiss leads the audience through an inner landscape, a mosaic of contrasts.
