Imagine the evening, where Henk van Twillert and his talented companions “Vento do Norte” take you to different places around the world with their program “Encontro Azul”. An encounter with Un Sueño in Re minor by Gerard Palm together with Astor Piazzolla’s stirring Libertango, Leonard Cohen’s life song Halleluja in duo with the compelling Air by Johann Sebastian Bach, or the melancholy of Portuguese Fado in Cançao do Mar, which continues to dream with Curaçao in the beautiful twilight of Rudy Plaate’s Atardi.

An emotional moment will be when the musicians will perform compositions by composers with whom van Twillert has worked in the past; Despedida by Wim Statius Muller, Abo So by Padú del Caribe and the Pavane para Guiomar by Livio Hermans.

Versatile, competent, passionate and sincere, Henk van Twillert brings together a generation of musicians, each with their own unique sound, who together leave an indelible impression.
