Wishful Singing

Five women seeking connection through music: that is Wishful Singing. The five classically trained artists combine a cappella singing, a compelling story, and a theatrical performance at the highest level in a unique way. Join our new course Gregorian Treasures! A tragicomic musical theatre production about the question: how can self-expression help us stand firm in an increasingly complex world? While in the background the Nazis sharpen their knives, Charlotte Salomon's life begins to shake for a very different reason. A performance with music by Steven Kamperman and a libretto by Annechien Koerselman. Buy your tickets now! One more Mindful Monday before the summer and what a one it is! During this free accessible concert, you will get an exclusive preview of the Song of the Sibyl, performed by the singers of Wishful Singing, Salah Eddine Mesbah (vocalist & percussion) and Hamza Amrani (ud, rabab & banjo) from the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra. The Song of the Sibyl is an ancient piece of music that is part of the UNESCO world heritage. Come too! Singing instead of worrying: Sing Strong with memory problems is a new program in collaboration with Amare (The Hague) and TivoliVredenburg (Utrecht). It brings people in the early stages of dementia or other forms of memory loss closer to their loved ones and shows how singing together opens the door to real contact, even as words begin to disappear. Sign up for the workshop or the webinar On the eve of Christmas, the mysterious Song of the Sibyl sounds: an ancient doomsday prophecy with roots in Gregorian music. Wishful Singing sings this fascinating UNESCO world heritage together with Salah Eddine Mesbah and Hamza Amrani from the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra and winner of the Ud Concours 2024 Ilias Markantonis. A contemplative alternative to the traditional winter concert. First performance dates announced!
