- Je begrijpt of spreekt nog niet veel Nederlands.
During a guided tour, the unique atmosphere of Roosenberg Abbey is revealed. The architecture of Dom Hans van der Laan, the daily life of the sisters, and the harmonious balance between architecture and spirituality take center stage.
Afterwards, the Ragazze Quartet presents Memories of Trees in the abbey garden. In this green setting, a musical visual narrative unfolds about the unique types of wood from which the string instruments are made. In collaboration with composer Kate Moore and audiovisual artist Jurjen Alkema, a layered performance emerges in which image and sound converge. In doing so, our deep connection to nature, craftsmanship and fragile ecosystems becomes tangible.
