Sparkling presentation of debut album Shimmering

On Friday, April 19, the Oorkaan Ensemble their debut album 'Shimmering' in RCO House, Amsterdam. A beautiful evening where together with partners from the field, friends and family toasted to this milestone of the Oorkaan Ensemble. The presentation is also the beginning of something very nice that we would like to share with you: the ensemble will also be playing (among others) the repertoire from the theatrical concerts Vier! and Gong en de vier neuzen for adult audiences! A special repertoire of works that at first glance are miles apart, but because of the way the ensemble plays, belong together as a matter of course.
