Marieke de Bruijn
With plenty of humour, she tells how she found her way as a farmer’s daughter and ended up at the Concertgebouw. Through personal stories, anecdotes from the classical and pop worlds and a peek behind the scenes of the concert stage, you gain insight into what it réally means to be a musician: the joy, the nerves, the cards you sometimes shuffle wrongly, raising children and, above all, what music can give you. Marieke also tells you more about the etiquette and customs of classical music, happily knocking over a few sacred cows along the way.
