As contact person, you organise concerts in your region, choose which song duos to invite and arrange special musical encounters. An inspiring role full of musical opportunities in your own region, in which you offer musicians a stage and listeners an unforgettable afternoon.
Being a contact is so much fun! There is a hard core of Friends from Rotterdam who are always there. And there are also more and more members who you didn't see very often before, or at most once and who now say: ‘I'll come again next time’. We also just have a great time together. Because you keep talking afterwards and have a drink, it becomes a kind of total experience. It's not just a concert, but everything around it. The warmth of that group of people makes it special. And the quality of the performances, because I still find that special.

What appealed to me about Friends of the Song was the high quality of the recitals and the intimate atmosphere. I am happy in life and enjoy the people around me and music that touches me and the voice.

Above all, we want to convey enthusiasm for the song. To organise beautiful concerts in a homely atmosphere and also reconnect with ArtEZ, the Zwolle conservatoire, to give young singers the opportunity to perform. And we are looking for collaborations in the region to introduce song art to our audience and music lovers as well.
