During the final of the 10th Utrechts Kleinkunst Festival, WE, KEES SCHOLTEN, together with MARGREET MARKERINK and Emmy Storms, won the jury prize.
THERE WE ARE VERY PROUD!

The Utrecht Kleinkunst Festival (UKF) was organized this year for the tenth time in the Schiller Theater Place Royal. Together with the Utrechts Cabaret Festival, it forms one of the cultural highlights of the Utrecht theater season.

In the leading German Tango Magazine Tango Danza a wonderful review about my CD & #8220; Moving Friends & #8221; under the title & #8220; Wie Margreet MarkerinkFreunde moves & #8221;

& #8220; Damalswie heute überzeugt Margreet Markerinksgelungenes musikalisches Wechselspiel
zwischen Klavier und Bandoneon, with manchmal melancholic, und dann wieder
luftig-leichten, hör- und tanzbaren Liedern. & #8221;

The Muzieklokaal with the channel 24Classics has placed 3 compositions of Margreet in their top 24 list.

Cancion y Milonga is on 4, 11th is Quiero and Tibortango is 17th.
View (and listen) here the entire list.

The Muzieklokaal in Utrecht is the dream of Talitha Verheij and Sanne van Buuren: the first classical tasting room in the Netherlands where everything revolves around classical music! In Het Muzieklokaal you can have lunch, drinks and dinner and enjoy a wide audience of classical music. New talent gets a stage during biweekly concerts. Classic in the pub, why not? This playlist, with a lot of work by musicians who have performed in Het Muzieklokaal, gives a nice taste of what you can find there.

The CD & #8216; MOVING FRIENDS & #8217; was heard on Radio Neo Tango in Chile.

Listen here the program.

Hermán Stevenson wrote the following review:

"MOVING FRIENDS Una fib más la consagrada pianista y composition holandesa, Margreet Markerink, nos vuelve a admirar con su talento. And esta oportunidad es su más reciente CD. su paÃs. A Margreet ya la habíamos presentado and anteriores conduciendo programs su "Trio Tanga". And esta oportunidad con este nuevo CD. nos muestra su talento the composition com interprete. "

& #8220; On her CD & #8216; MOVING FRIENDS & #8217; the renowned Dutch pianist and composer Margreet Markerink surprises us again with her talent. On her most recent CD she invites well-known Dutch musicians to play with her. Margreet had already shown in my previous broadcasts with Tangata and now she shows on & #8216; MOVING FRIENDS & #8217; us again her talent as a composer and pianist / performer of Tango music. & #8221;

 

That was enjoying me there, last night, in Haarlem, the concert of & #8216; Cuarteto Tangata & #8217; with extensions! Pianist Margreet Markerink presented her new CD & #8216; Moving Friends & #8217 ;, and turned it into a great and moving musical party with her friends.
Margreet Markerink, Jacqueline Edeling, Boris Franz, Andrea Bentivoglio, guest players Emmy Storms, Harriët Overbeek, and the singers Jeannine Geerts and Kees Scholten, they surprised me with every song and made me emotionally about such & #8217; n quality of playing, the repertoire , and the nice variety. I was also surprised to hear from singer Jeannine Geerts. That she has not yet taken a step in Buenos Aires, let alone that she has already sung there once, because if you did not know better, you would really think that she is an Argentinian diva on tour in Europe. They would lie there at her feet and not let her go.

If you have fun, you're crazy if you don't treat yourself and your friends to such a beautiful concert!
