Soul icon Raphael Saadiq to perform in Theater Rotterdam

Bryan van Putten events (calendar)
R&B and Soul icon Raphael Saadiq returns to the Netherlands for the first time since his performance at North Sea Jazz in 2011. The soul singer will perform in Theater Rotterdam, Schouwburg.
 

The multi-talented Raphael Saadiq

Raphael Saadiq, born Charlie Ray Wiggins, is an artist who can do everything. At a young age, he performed as bass player for Prince during the 'Parade Tour'. He then founded the rhythm & blues formation Tony! Toni! Tone! with which Saadiq scored big hits as lead singer. At its peak, Saadiq left the trio to focus on his solo career. His solo debut 'Instant Vintage' (2002) was nominated for five Grammys. 
 

Producer for the stars

In addition to his solo career, Saadiq is also responsible for many great successes within contemporary R & B. He produced for greats like D'Angelo (his Grammy-winning album 'Untitled'), The Roots, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Erykah Badu. Raphael Saadiq also made his mark with the supergroup Lucy Pearl through hits such as 'Do not mess with my man' and 'Dance tonight'.

If you love going to the movies, you're definitely going to want to visit Pleinbioscoop. Pleinbioscoop in Rotterdam was first organised in 1987. Nowadays, it's the largest open-air cinema in Europe and screens both Hollywood blockbusters and arthouse films.

The ultimate summer experience

The Pleinbioscoop in August has been a regular feature for 32 years. Rent a chair for €1 or bring your own and cosy up in front of the huge 15x25-meter screen. On the programme are the best films of the past year; a mix of arthouse and the better Hollywood blockbusters.

Pleinbioscoop 2019 Programme

The programme for the Pleinbioscoop Rotterdam 2019 has been announced. From 7 to 25 August, 19 titles will be screened in the Museumpark. This year, Europe's largest open-air cinema pays tribute to the 1990s, among other things. The opening film on Wednesday 7 August is The Favourite by Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos.

This year's highlights include the classic Terminator 2 (August 23), and of course the opening film The Favourite (August 7); a slightly absurd and hilariously funny costume drama by Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos.

Another film screened at Pleinbioscoop this year is Mid90s, the directorial debut of actor Jonah Hill, in which a teenage boy immerses himself in the skate culture of Los Angeles in 1996. Especially for the occasion, skating is the focus of this Pleinbioscoop Night (Wednesday 14 August). There will be a tribute to a legendary Rotterdam skate event: the Wednesday Night Skate. This year it is 20 years ago (1999) that the first parade of skaters rode through the streets of Rotterdam. Bring your skates with you!

The Rotterdam documentary Goede Buren (Monday 19 August) investigates the fight against loneliness in our city. Volunteers Wilma and Ada roll up their sleeves in their district Charlois. With the project Bubble Breakers, the Pleinbioscoop hopes to bring its audience closer together. Anyone who takes a neighbour to the film on Monday 19 August (proof of this by both bringing a letter addressed to you) will receive the second ticket for free from the Pleinbioscoop.

Bryan van Putten events (calendar)
The Weekend of Romantic Music festival in Rotterdam, a classical era experience like no other, has been held for over thirty years now. This weekend features live classical music performances in a breathtaking setting. 
 

Weekend of Romantic Music Rotterdam

Weekend van de Romantische Muziek is an annual classical music festival that celebrates romanticism. What once started as a day in the park, has now evolved into a full weekend. The goal of this weekend is to make classical music accessible and accessible to all residents of Rotterdam.

The festival features various live music stages, each with its own atmosphere and style. Classical and romantic music concerts are given on various stages throughout the park. The musicians are top-notch and include well-known names. There's also a great deal of attention for emerging talent.

The Weekend of Romantic Music takes place in Het Park at the Euromast; a breathtaking backdrop for classical music as well as delicious food and drinks.

Come (as romantic) as you are

Ever wish you could go back in time and have a chat with (or dress up like) Jane Eyre or Elizabeth Bennet? For many regular visitors to the Weekend of Romantic Music, it's a tradition to pay a lot of attention to their (sometimes homemade) romantic outfit. It's not a must, but it sure adds to the general vibe!

No entrance fee, just a small donation

The organizers of the Weekend of Romantic Music have kept the festival free of charge for many years. To keep the festival going in the future, visitors are asked to make a donation at the entrance. An amount of five euros or more per person helps the organization cover the costs.

Changes to the festival format

Last year, the organization carried out a number of changes, such as a different layout of the festival grounds, so that visitors could fully enjoy the beautiful park. Also, food trucks and mobile kitchens were spread out across the festival terrain, serving a wide variety of delicacies. This meant that visitors are no longer allowed to bring their own food and drinks to the official festival site. However, the organization has designated a special picnic area at the entrance of the site, so that this beloved tradition will continue to live on, albeit a ways away from the stages.
