The Transatlantic Concert takes the audience on a musical journey from the west coast of Africa, via Cape Verde, to the Caribbean and South America. In this concert, descendants living in the Netherlands pay tribute to the enslaved people who were forced to make the crossing to the Dutch Caribbean islands, South America, and the Caribbean. Music serves as the unifying force throughout the evening. The program is performed by the Atlantic Crossing Ensemble, together with various vocalists, including Curaçaoan soloist Mara Letti and Suriname-born Kenny B. Musical direction is in the hands of Venezuelan conductor Michael Simon. The opening performance is provided by pianist Sherman Zimmerman. After the concert, the evening continues with performances by Amigos from South America and the Caribbean formation Mini Cache Royale. During the after-event gathering, guests can also enjoy a selection of culinary bites.

Community life is a crucial social and cultural driver in our society. Few things connect people as deeply as joining a club or association. Without a doubt, the association is one of the most effective tools against division in society. Both clubs and enthusiasts, as well as independent practitioners of amateur arts, can find a place at Muziekgebouw Eindhoven. With the project For the Love of Music, we are pleased to offer our venues to everyone who loves music: creators, artists, and musicians from Eindhoven and the surrounding region.
