Bach in a new look

Visitors on Friday, March 21, can enjoy, among other things, a special lunch concert by city carillonneur Carl van Eyndhoven in the recently restored steeple of the Heikese Kerk, where the sound of the 57-year-old bronze bells echoes through the city. For the youngest music lovers (1-4 years) there is the interactive toddler performance Music with little Sebastian, a playful introduction to the music of Bach in the Jan van Besouwhuis in Goirle and at Factorium Tilburg.
Theater company VOX Muziektheater brings Bach's music to life in a comical setting with Coffeeshop Cantate, a performance at Central Station.
