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