On Monday, May 20 (Whit Monday) Buddy Netwerk organizes, in cooperation with Residentie Orkest , a musical city walk in the center of The Hague.

The famous "Alle Menschen werden Brüder" from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony celebrates exactly 200 years in May. The world premiere was in Vienna on May 7, 1824, and the symphony has since become a universal message of connection and harmony. A relevant message that Buddy Network and the Residentie Orkest are jointly promoting this day. Because music connects, and Buddy Network has been connecting people in meaningful 1-to-1 contact for over 35 years!

Will you walk with us in a musical walk of connection?

The starting and finishing point is in front of the Grote of Sint Jacobskerk in The Hague. Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. you can start and walk the walk independently.

Between noon and 1 p.m., Gijsbert Kok, city carillonneur of The Hague, will play excerpts from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony on the carillon of the Grote Kerk, among others. This will be followed live via a livestream.

During the walk there will also be a video of bass trombonist Wouter Iseger in conversation with Gijsbert Kok. Both share a love of church bells, as Wouter, in addition to being a bass trombonist at Residentie Orkest , is also a member of the Utrechts Klokkenluidersgilde.

More information about the walk will follow on this page as soon as possible.

*No registration is necessary and everyone is welcome to join the walk.
