24classics presents: Philip Glass by Lavinia Meijer & Nikki Hock

Lavinia Meijer takes on Philip Glass' hypnotic, minimal, and classical music this ADE with a one-off Arts & Culture special at Zuiderkerk. Meijer brings Glass' repertoire's intense and dream-like sounds to life in her signature way during two performances. Multidisciplinary artist Nikki Hock accompanies the harpist with his audiovisual work, making us move between reality and the metaphysical. Like Hock's sculpting, event host 24classics bridges gaps between artistic dimensions and musical genres. Join one of two showcases by clicking the event link.

Breathwork Concert by Jimmy Jansen & Maarten Stok

Imagine an interactive performance in which you go on a journey through your own inner world, with your eyes closed. While musicians fill the space with music, you are taken through a program of songs, poetry and other elements, via (light) breathwork and guided meditations. You will be guided with hands, words, sounds and music by a specially trained 'breath team', with music by Maarten Stok and Jimmy Jansen. Afterwards, there will be room to chat and share your experience or questions with the team, while snacks and tea will be served.
