Love of the classics

Good evening,

The people who love classical music and specially Beethoven are in luck, the Muziekgebouw aan ´t IJ is hosting the Beethoven Driedaagse (or 3 days of only Beethoven). Tickets are available through the site of the concert hall, enjoy!

Back from the weekend

Good evening,

What a lovely day! I enjoy working from home with lots of light coming in, don´t you?

Until the 2nd of March the Olympic Stadion in Amsterdam is transformed into a huge ice ring, and it´s called De Coolste Baan van Nederland. 

The 27th of February they even show the KPN Marathong Cup Finals Live and every day there is a different theme (think of DJ night or lazy Sunday afternoon) for adults and children.

So for those of you missing the ice in The Netherlands, head over to the Olympic Stadion!

Saludos,

IMPRO Amsterdam

Good evening,

The International Improvisation Theatre Festival starts today until the 1st of February at the Compagnietheater in Amsterdam. There are late night shows, workshops, after party, and lots of improvisation! 

You can have a look at the cast here. The shows are in English, so good for the foreigners and good for the natives (in order for them to practice).

Hoge Veluwe and Kröller-Müller museum

Good evening,

This weekend we enjoyed some quite time at the Hoge Veluwe National Park. I know, a bit cold, but it was a special occasion...you can get a free bike there and see more of the park (the bike paths get right through the middle of the forest). We got some exercise for sure!

And in the middel of the park you will find the Kröller-Müller museum. They have an impressive collection of Picasso, Mondriaan, Seurat, etc. They lend many pieces so you can check on their website before going if they will be at the museum. I was totally impressed by the Van Gogh collection.

They also have an enormous collection of sculptures in the garden that you can visit for free (there is a fee for the museum, several discounts are available or you can go in for free with the museumkaart).

The park is located near the city of Arnhem. You can get there by trein and bus. On the park´s site you will find a lot of useful information.

Hope this inspired you to do some sightseeing!

Saludos,

Irene

Move that body

Good evening,

The title of the post refers to the Holland Dance Festival that starts tomorrow until the 16th of February in Den Haag. 

You will find workshops, debates and lots of dancing: jazz, modern, classic, salsa, urban, pilates, flamenco...!! On the official website they have several videos of what you can expect and I must say, it looks really inspiring.

Performers come from different corners of the world (think of Cuba, Brazil, Germany, France, USA and a long etcetera).

Saludos and have a lovely weekend,

Irene
