Emma is delighted to present the Dutch première of Thomas Hewitt Jones‘s and Matt Harvey‘s “Can you hear me?” together with the Justinus Ensemble and pianist/conductor Brian Fieldhouse.

Written to raise awareness of mental-health and loneliness issues during lockdown, “Can you hear me?” captures the spirit of reaching out to one another in difficult times.

This performance was recorded live in the Hooglandse Kerk in Leiden, the Netherlands, without an audience. The film, produced by manager Peter Breedijk, shows the aspects of life that have become all too familiar in recent months: face-coverings, hand-sanitiser, empty public spaces, and at the same time we hope it gives you, the viewer, a message of hope.
