People involved in the organization of King’s Day in Emmen will be treated by the royal family to the King’s Day concert on Monday, April 22.
People from South Drenthe who teach music and music education can also count on an invitation.
This year’s King’s Day concert has the theme ‘voices from borderless Emmen’. A program has been put together with contributions from, among others, the Calefax reed quintet, harpist Remy van Kesteren, singer Rosa da Silva and the Animato Quartet. They perform works by Pietro Antonio Locatelli, George Gershwin, Leo Smit, Kinan Azmeh and Daniël Lohues, born in Emmen. Ensemble BOI AKIH plays a composition by guitarist Niels Brouwer with a text by singer Monica Akihary.
A new work that Remy van Kesteren wrote for the King’s Day concert will also be performed.

The King’s Day concert traditionally takes place in the month preceding King’s Day. Every year a different combination of ensembles and artists takes center stage. Since 2014, the concert has been organized in the municipality where the Royal family celebrates King’s Day.
