Lange Mare 48, Leiden
The Leiden Chamber Choir loves musical adventures. This time we are taking a trip to a number of different countries, from which, moreover, choir members come from: The Netherlands, England, Spain, Latvia and Turkey. The program features mostly lesser-known works, including choral arrangements of old folk tunes, as well as modern compositions and a few old madrigals. The music evokes very different atmospheres. Tranquil and subdued, joyful and exuberant, exotic and special - it all comes up, as it does on a journey. The Marekerk - one of the most beautiful churches in Leiden - provides a beautiful setting for this special concert.
The program is as follows:
