Enjoy Mahler 2 in
The Concertgebouw
We look back with great pleasure on an unforgettable concert in a sold-out main hall of the Concertgebouw. Mahler 2 resonated until the last note and moved everyone, both audience and performers. Together with the Groot Concertkoor Amsterdam, alto Sophia Patsi and soprano Aylin Sezer we created a great evening, all under the inspiring leadership of Jacob Slagter.
That this was a special project is also evident from all the media attention: in the morning we were already mentioned on the radio at NPO Klassiek ( from 00:48 ) and there was an article in the Volkskrant and in the evening we were on television at Editie NL . But the best experience was of course live in the hall!
Thanks to all involved, performers, organizers and of course thanks to our loyal audience! And thanks Marjolein Vinkenoog for the beautiful pictures!
