Dutch Flamenco Biennial in Rotterdam

During the next edition of the Flamenco Biennial in the Netherlands, expect to see and experience world-class flamenco!
 
The seventh edition is from 18 January to 10 February 2019. Over the course of two weeks, the festival presents colourful and surprising flamenco shows in theatres and concert halls. Get ready for tantalizing and varied performances, framed by an inspiring context program with master classes & workshops, lectures, artists talks, films & even flamenco yoga classes.
 
This edition also offers the Biennale a surprising sampling of contemporary flamenco art, with performances and concerts in which the old tradition appears in exciting cross-links and enters into alliances with contemporary dance as well as jazz, classical, baroque and oriental music.
 
Rotterdam is well-represented with at least four locations. On Friday, February 8th, there's a tribute to Michael Jackson in the Doelen by El Periquin and Martin Fondse. On Sunday, February 10th, no one other than David Carmona will be performing in LantarenVenster. The festival will be festively closed the same day in Theater Rotterdam with a performance by Israel Galvan.

Night of the Proms is the brainchild of two Belgian students, Jan Vereecke and Jan Van Esbroeck, who back in 1985 came up with the concept. The event is loosely modelled after the BBC Proms classical concert series but differs in various ways. For starters, the mix between classical music and pop is unique to the Night of the Proms. Moreover, the Night of the Proms is held in various European countries such as Belgium, Germany, Poland and Denmark as well as in the United States.

About HEMA Foundation

HEMA Foundation was founded in 2018. An independent foundation that, among other things, is committed to language skills. Good reading and writing can have a great positive impact on daily life. Yet 2.5 million Dutch people have great difficulty with this. And 1 in 10 Dutch children leave primary school without being able to read and write sufficiently.
Low literacy is often passed on from generation to generation. For kids growing up in a language-poor family where little is spoken and read aloud, the chance of low literacy later increases considerably. That is why HEMA Foundation supports language projects aimed at families with young children, sets up awareness campaigns and organizes language activities for young and old. Like this reading afternoon for children and their families.
