Hartstocht
In early 2025, three musicians (Arie Murk, his daughter Charlotte Murk and son-in-law Pepijn ter Haar) came up with the idea of putting on a full evening programme of listening music at the Kattendans. The starting point was an evening of ‘simply beautiful songs’: an appreciation of beautiful music in all its diversity. Pepijn, Charlotte and Arie drew up a list of music they loved, and joined forces with Frank Klemann – a good friend of Arie’s and a fantastic pianist - to whittle the by-now enormous list down to a manageable size.
The result was a varied collection of genres: from pop to rock, to jazz and soul, country and bluegrass. The evening took its final shape when the line-up was completed by drummer Niels Hendriks (Arie’s son-in-law, a good friend of Charlotte & Pepijn), bassist Boudewijn ter Haar (Pepijn’s father) and singer/guitarist/mandolinist Koen Bos (Charlotte’s cousin). Not only the group of musicians and the concept for the evening, but also the list of music is held together by love and connection. However different the music may be in sound, it is just as united in passion.
Expect a wonderful evening with music by Ray Charles, Eagles, Mumford & Sons, Eva Cassidy, Alter Bridge and Ten Sharp, among others. All this music is tied together by the fine words of René Wagenaar (former DJ and radio presenter), completing the picture. Enjoy an evening in which every form of passion and love is brought to light, and celebrated.
