You know that every year we give two - THE MANIFEST & THE UNMANIFEST - recital concerts in the beautiful old Grote Kerk in Weesp. This year too, we will perform two special improvisations again this time inspired by the solstice.
Besides us, a host of fine people always work with us to make this happen.
This year they are:
Aleksandra Annisimowicz - soprano
Natalie Merfort - soprano and choral conductor
Atzko Kohashi - piano
André Heuvelman - trumpet
Hans Karssen - didgeridoo
Siem Ranoesetiko - percussion

When you lie in the magical whirlwind of sounds, the feeling of separateness disappears. Time and space dissolve into your silent essence. Relaxation on a physical, mental and spiritual level. Where and how it works for you will become apparent during the evening.
These concerts are recumbent concerts because it is about the total experience of the whole and not the visual spectacle. It is an inner journey. For people who cannot lie down, it is always possible to attend this concert seated. There is also a disabled entrance in the church. The concert lasts about 1.5 hours.
The concerts will be held in the Grote Kerk (Laurens kerk) on Nieuwstraat 31 in Weesp. On Friday, the concert starts at 9pm and on Saturday the concert starts at 8.30pm. The doors of the church will open one hour beforehand. Make sure you are on time as the doors will be locked the moment the concert starts.
Don't forget to bring your own mat, pillow and possibly blanket so you can relax on the stone church floor. Please note that the church's underfloor heating is not on during this period.
