Amsterdam Tour 2009
Cadenza have a great reputation for high quality performances at home, but 2009 saw the choir’s first trip to continental Europe with a long weekend in Amsterdam.
The first concert was in Medemblik, about 60km north of Amsterdam, in the beautiful Bonifaciuskerk. The second concert was in Amsterdam itself, in the cavernous De Vredeskerk. But all work and no play makes Cadenza a dull choir, and we’re certainly not that – so there was plenty time for sight-seeing and socialising as well as singing. A fabulous trip enjoyed by all! We hope you enjoy looking through our photos.
