Concerto in Memoriam in memorial park of Westerveld on 7 June

The monumental memorial park of Westerveld Cemetery & Crematorium – part of ‘the Facultatieve Group’ – will play host to the now traditional Concerto in Memoriam on Sunday 7 June at 14.00 hours. After so many positive reactions last year, the music will once again be provided by the young professional orchestra ‘Colla Voce’ (conducted by Bob Berkemeier), with soprano Clara de Vries and violinist Loek Lufting. They will be playing pieces by Grieg, Berlioz and Mozart, among others. The concert will also feature music from George Gershwin’s musical Porgy and Bess. The ‘Word of Comfort’ will this year be given by Arjen Erkel. He plans to talk about his dramatic experiences when he was abducted and held for 607 days in 2002 while in the Russian Republic of Dagestan for Doctors Without Borders. Through this annual open-air memorial concert – attended last year by more than six thousand people – Westerveld aims to provide as many as possible with the opportunity to remember their loved ones. Entry to the concert is free. We look forward to welcoming you! For further information: www.bc-westerveld.nl
