Music in leisure time.
From this week on, the two most important concert series of Dutch choral music take off. This Sunday, the Couleur Vocale series will start at the Waalse Kerk in Amsterdam, and from 6 October you’ll be able to attend the series organized by the Pieterskerk Concerts Foundation at the Pieterskerk in Utrecht. Both series have choral music on the menu, sometimes with instrumental accompaniment but mostly a cappella. Please enjoy this foretaste of the new musical season.
