Category:: Live Music in Rotterdam

Description

Annelie, known for her work as a keyboardist and singer with Eefje de Visser and Maaike Ouboter, has carved out her own space as a solo artist, choosing to focus on instrumental music with the piano as her foundation. Her previous albums, After Midnight (2018) and Hertz (2021), received widespread acclaim and collectively reached nearly 50 million streams on Spotify. Now, she returns with Sunne, her third album, which she not only composed but also largely produced herself. Unlike her earlier work, Sunne introduces her voice into the mix, adding a new layer to her deeply personal and melancholic sound.

The album was written during the summer of 2023 and recorded in early spring, a period Annelie describes as both intimate and expansive. Inspired by themes of travel, nature, and the changing climate, Sunne balances warmth, nostalgia, and a quiet sense of melancholy.

She will present the album on April 12 in the Paradijskerk in Rotterdam, a fitting venue for the ethereal and reflective nature of her music.

Description

The Paradijskerk is an Old Catholic church located at Nieuwe Binnenweg 25 in Rotterdam. Established in 1647 by chaplain Bernardus Hoogewerff, the church was originally situated in his birthplace, known as 'Het Paradijs', in Rotterdam's old city centre. Due to structural issues, a new building was constructed between 1908 and 1910, designed by architect Petrus Augustinus Weeldenburg. This neo-Baroque structure is notable for its two 50-metre-high towers and houses an 18th-century Baroque interior, including woodwork by Flemish sculptor Alexander Dominicus Pluskens. Remarkably, the church survived the Rotterdam Blitz in May 1940, making it the city's only remaining church with a Baroque interior.
