Amsterdam Cantorij will bring South American sounds on the Amstelveld.

Amsterdam Cantorij 

This warm summer concert includes works by renowned composers such as the Argentinians Guastavino, Piazzolla and Ramírez, the Colombian Grau and the Brazilian Villa-Lobos. Their compositions are often inspired by folk music and infused with the unmistakable rhythm of South American dance. But the concert also captures the essence of the South American saudade - a difficult-to-translate word that describes a deep sense of loss, nostalgia and melancholy. Whether it's nostalgia for the homeland, melancholy about times gone by, or the longing for a lost love, this music evokes a mix of emotions that is both bittersweet and profound.

Dirk Overbeek accompanies the choir on accordion, and the whole is led by conductor Felix van den Hombergh.
