Commemoration Keti Koti (lunch + concert) with Arturo den Hartog + Ernst Munneke

On July 1, the Netherlands commemorates and celebrates the abolition of slavery in Suriname and the Antilles (Keti Koti and Dia di Abolishon). This afternoon we reflect on our shared past and present and look ahead to the future by eating and listening together. Countertenor Arturo den Hartog will perform a recital with songs from the Surinamese classical repertoire, Surinamese traditional songs and Adès' colorful arrangement of 4 songs by Purcell. Beforehand, there will be a lunch with Heri Heri, a one-pot meal prepared with ingredients that the enslaved people on the plantations had at their disposal.
