Kris Oelbrandt: Passion of Innocence
A celebration of innocence – music full of silence and purity
In the great tradition of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion – which moves and connects many people every year – Jeroen den Herder explored the question: how can children maintain their innocence in a world full of unrest and conflict? And suppose all children were to sing at the same time, what would that bring about?
The result is a new and unique musical story that lets you experience the power of silence and childlike innocence. Jeroen den Herder: ‘Emotion opens your heart and offers space for forgiveness, hope and comfort. It reconnects people with each other’.
