Sound Manifestations

After having performed fifteen Singing Manifestations between 2016 and 2019 with guest choirs and guest musicians and the exhibition Who Owns the Street? in 'the tower' of the new building was replaced for the installation Woensel Supertoll! by Tijs Rooijakkers, it was also time for us to do something new.

Rapper Fresku and residents of Woensel wrote on the slats of which Supertoll! is built their wishes, motives and ambitions. The art project thus connected hundreds of Eindhoven residents and literally set them in motion.

Willy de Rooij got the idea to realize such a movement in music. She imagined concerts in which visitors are invited to come to a harmony of sound with the choir in an intuitive and spontaneous way and thus to create togetherness. She asked Hella Hertogs, who had experience organizing musical projects, to help the choir. Hella trained us during rehearsals together with soprano Rianne Wilbers. And together we performed the programs of the three Sound Manifestations that were to follow.

Hella Hertogs
In addition to her artistry as a poet, composer, painter and singer, Hella Hertogs works as a (singing) coach and teacher at schools, institutions and companies and she develops art and music projects.

Rianne Wilbers
Soprano Rianne Wilbers, who graduated cum laude in 2016, enjoys taking on challenges and attracting people. She is widely praised for her artistic vision, bravado and perseverance.
