Every week, NH’s Culture Club editors come up with three nightlife tips for the coming week: performances, events or other cultural events in the province that you should not miss. With this week the fresh indie pop songs of the band Fiep, dancing against the facades of the Grote Kerk in Beverwijk and the glasses, evening dresses and dinner plates by Juliana in the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam.
Fiep – NH News
Nightlife tip 1: Fresh indie pop by Fiep
The Amsterdam indie pop band Fiep has only released two singles, but is already a favorite with the pop connoisseurs. But Fiep is also received enthusiastically by the public in the halls in the country. “I hear that people find our music fresh and energetic,” laughs founder and singer Veerle Driessen. One of those fresh songs is Daydreaming, a self-portrait of the daydreaming Veerle. “In the past, that sometimes caused problems, now I see it as my strength.” Fiep will perform in Groningen and Uden this weekend, but will perform on November 13th with pop round in the Vorstin in Hilversum.
Nightlife tip 2: Dance performance at Grote Kerk Beverwijk
This weekend you can visit Beverwijk for a spectacular dance event. There is no dancing IN the Grote Kerk of Beverwijk, but AGAINST the facade of the church. The performance of the vertical dancers is very appropriately called Dance to Heaven. The dance performance is part of an itinerant event Heritage Parade where iconic buildings in the Netherlands are used as dance locations. Dance to Heaven at the Grote Kerk in Beverwijk can be seen on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evenings.
Nightlife tip 3: Juliana in the Nieuwe Kerk Amsterdam
She was the grandmother of our current King Willem-Alexander and the mother of Princess Beatrix, Juliana. Because she took the throne 75 years ago, there is a beautiful exhibition in the Nieuwe Kerk about Juliana, who reigned as Queen of the Netherlands from 1948 to 1980. She was known as the queen who wanted to be ‘just’ found.
A well-known image is Juliana on a bicycle:
Yet of course Juilana did not live a normal life as a princess and later queen. The exhibition shows her evening dresses, the crockery she ate and the eye-catching glasses she wore. In addition, many photos and film fragments from the period in which she lived and interpreted her special role as. The century of Juliana, a queen and her ideals in the New Church in Amsterdam can be visited from 15 October.
