To mark the 50th anniversary of the Voorschoten Chamber Choir, composer Nico Philip Hovius was commissioned to write a secular oratorio based on the legend of the flying Dutchman.

I am, perhaps wickedly, delighted to be singing the role of the she-devil Luci Fer, who seduces Captain Barend Fokke into a pact which ultimately brings him disaster. It’s a beautiful composition, both fresh and accessible.

The role of Fokke will be sung by acclaimed bass Yonathan van den Brink. The Voorschotens Kamerkoor will be conducted by Nico Philipp Hovius and accompanied by the string quintet Ventus Filum and pianist Rob Nederlof.

Saturday 1st June, 20:00, Dorpskerk, Voorschoten, the Netherlands.
