De Duif

On December 5th a yearly concert tradition takes place in the heart of Amsterdam, bringing together classical music enthusiasts from all walks of life DEC 5Traditions mean a lot to me. An event that repeats itself provides stability and something to look forward to. I am charmed by Dutch winter traditions—the way people come together on December 5th and sing songs that are a part of it. It truly brings us joy during darker days. Deeply rooted traditions can also cause discomfort, especially for those who don&#x27;t identify with them or don&#x27;t have anyone to share them with. Since 2015, I&#x27;ve been hosting music events on December 5th. By repeating this every year, we&#x27;ve collectively created our own tradition with unique customs. At DEC5, the main idea is that everyone can be themselves. We gather in enchanting places to enjoy live classical music. This year, I invite you to join me at De Duif, a renowned church along one of Amsterdam&#x27;s main canals. One of the pieces I&#x27;ve selected is a special, meditative composition. &#x27;Yarilo&#x27; by Nikolai Korndorf reflects the entire cycle of life and intuitively delves into topics like fertility, love, as well as melancholy and mourning. I&#x27;m looking forward to reuniting with familiar friends and welcoming new faces. Come alone or with friends and extended family - reserving seats for DEC5 is now available.
