Spring is in the air., albeit a moody spring that demands music that connects and offers hope. The Sophia Chamber Choir from Kiev presents choral works full of such reflection under the name ‘Spring Lights’.
On Thursday, June 6, they will give an atmospheric concert in the Grote Kerk in Den Bosch (20:30 CET). The Concertzender will make live recordings that evening. The Sophia Chamber Choir from Kyiv is a passionate advocate of Ukrainian musical culture and travels all over the world.
