After Covid in 2022, we went to Neerpeld for an international choir festival and won Gold cum laude with our children choir! It was so much fun ! Souvenirs souvenirs! how time flies!
Nina Kraus, director of the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory at Northwestern University and research collaborator on the Harmony Project has spent her life surrounded by music. And, today, she is studying how musical training can harness the brain’s natural plasticity, or adaptiveness, to help students become better overall students and readers, even when they grow up in impoverished environments.
“Music and language skills rely upon auditory processing. Although reading may not be thought of as a primarily auditory activity, its foundation rests on a child making sense of incoming auditory input in order to map speech sounds correctly on to orthographic representations,” says Kraus. “Many of the same aspects of sound processing that are deficient in children with language and learning impairments have been found to be strengthened in those who receive music training, and music-based interventions have demonstrated some success in the remediation of reading problems, too.”

The critics said about us:
Heerlijk kinderkoor
In de koorscènes van soldaten, fabrieksmeisjes, smokkelaars en overige groepen speelt het Operakoor (ingestudeerd door Lionel Sow) een belangrijke rol en zingt met geweldig élan. Heerlijk spontaan zingen de jongens en meisjes van het Nieuw Amsterdams Kinderkoor (ingestudeerd door Anaïs de la Morandais) met schetterende stemmen het retteketet-koor om de marcherende soldaten te begeleiden, en demonstreren allerlei gevechtsgebaren.
Recording from 14 september for radio NPO4
Here is the extract of our moment in the show of Hans van de Boom. What a great experience it was to sing on a radio live show!
Due to the government restrictions around COVID19, this concert was our only Christmas concert that year.
We were honoured to be invite by the region of saxony to perform in front of Angela Merkel and Marc Rutte and all the guests of the opening ceremony of Vermeer’s Exhibition in Dresden last september. You can hear the Nieuw Amsterdams kinder- and jeugdkoor at the end around 1:23 performing our favorite Amsterdams Medley.
I am very excited to participate in this project under Manoj Kamp and Lisenka Heijboer Castañon’s direction as this is not only the first one after months of no-performances but also because I will be on stage in a golden costume conducting Moon Bridge from Florence Price in a beautiful arrangement made by Meriç Artaç for children choir, piano, celesta and toy piano!
With the youth choir and the talentenkoor.
The Covid 19 crisis took away a lot of our planed project with the Dutch National Opera like Carmen, Frau ohne Schatten and Mefistofele. Faust (working-title) is a stage concert will take part in and this is one of the song we will sing on stage in september 2020.
Teaser for our october concert... that we hope we can perform depending on the rules on the COVID19.
We encourage our students to keep practicing!
