Live Concert | "Utrecht 900 jaar" Holland Baroque, Nederlandse Bachvereniging, Nederlands Kamerkoor

Live from TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The AVROTROS Friday Concerto on Friday the 11th of November 2022.

On 2 June 1122, Emperor Henry V granted city rights to Utrecht and its residents. Utrecht became an official city – one of the very first cities in the Netherlands. This year, we have been celebrating the 900th anniversary of Utrecht acquiring city rights. Holland Baroque, the Nederlands Kamerkoor, the Netherlands Bach Society, the National Children’s Choir, and the Kathedrale Koorschool Suriname will close out this festive year with a musical tribute to the "Domstad". Together they celebrate this special anniversary with a program based around Georg Friedrich Händel’s compelling Utrecht Te Deum.
