  • HILDEGARD IN THE TUNNEL - performance, 's-Hertogenbosch: Three women are singing early medieval music by Hildegard von
        Bingen, accompanied by a sandawa-player, inside a traffic tunnel. This particular tunnel reminded me of the church I used to go to as a
        child, where traffic noise would sometimes echo between the pillars through the sermons and our singing. So I wanted to disturbing
        the traffic noise with singing for a change. The performance was held during the Boulevard Theatre Festival, which gave it a lot of
        publicity and hundreds of people came to listen.

        Performers: Maria Wiegers, Patries Knoot & Suzanne van der Helm, vocals, Joep Huiskamp, Sandawa.
