Welcome to the festive opening of the Grachtenfestival! Enjoy a musical spectacle with the top Canal Festival musicians, including baritone and Artist in Residence Raoul Steffani, percussionist Dominique Vleeshouwers, jazz saxophonist Kika Sprangers and piano virtuoso Yang Yang Cai. The Kloveniersburgwal is transforming this evening into a beautiful open-air concert hall where young musicians play the leading role. Under the direction of Annechien Koerselman, we present a sample of all the beauty that the upcoming festival will be reviewed entirely in the style of the 2019 festival theme, Treasures of Women.
