This summer kicked off with an amazing concert on the most beautiful and famous Leiden canal, The Rapenburg.   I had the sublime pleasure of singing the duet Tell Him, with the incredibly beautiful and talented Gerlinde Vliegenhart accompanied by the wonderful  Sempre Crescendo Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Guido Marchena.    The concert was hosted by student vereniging Minerva celebrating its 205 year lustrum (anniversary).

What journey are you on?  What do you consider home?   On June 9, 2019 I will sing the the song Pelgrimsgebed by Amanda Strydom at the Pinksterpelgrimreis service at the Hoogelandse Kerk, Leiden accompanied by Willeke Smits.

Social, Rolling and Noteworthy describe my months of March and April.   The Gainbridge Tulip commercial I worked on started airing nationally in the US and online mid- March. Beautifully filmed and directed by Peter Thwaites, it's about the Tulip Fever in the Netherlands in the  1630's.
