Lunch concert at the Waalse Kerk

The Cultuur tijdens het middaguur Foundation organises a varied concert programme at the Waalse Kerk, featuring a lunchtime concert every Friday at 12 noon.

• 1 May:  Angelina Georgiadi (violin) and Ineke Hellingman (piano)
  The Greek Angelina was already being praised by critics at the age of ten as ‘a master of the  bow’. She has performed in every European country. 
  Amsterdam-born Ineke Hellingman is one of the most promising young pianists in the Netherlands. She began playing at the age of six and made her orchestral debut at the age of twelve.
  
  

• 8 May: Duo EÓS, Hyunjin Cho (violin and cello) and Efstratia Chaloulakou (cello) 
  The South Korean violinist Hyunjin Cho was born and raised in Japan, where she graduated in her instrument. She has won numerous prizes at the Japan Classical Music Competition. 
  The Greek cellist Efstratia Chaloulakou graduated with honours from the University of Macedonia and the State Conservatory of Thessaloniki. She has performed throughout Europe and is currently studying at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

• 15 May: High Five Plus
  Old-style jazz during the lunch concert has become something of a tradition. As residents of Breda, these musicians grew up with the music they have been playing since  1971. They aim to convey to their audience the joy of playing old-school jazz and the pop music from the interwar period. The delight of the eight  musicians shines through at every performance. High Five Plus is a stage ensemble featuring lesser-known, but all the more surprising, pieces in the New Orleans tradition.
