Orchestral Video Game concert Tour - Update

25/03/2020

With a heavy heart I'm sharing that my performances on tour with "SCORE", the symphonic video game concert series with Noord Nederlands Orkest this May, have been cancelled due to the current pandemic.

As musicians it truly breaks our hearts, and I would have loved to sing this beautiful new program we prepared for you. However, safety first and NNO is currently hoping to perform this concert series at a later point in time. For now, the Netherlands prohibit concerts until summer, which in my eye is the only reasonable thing to do.

Thank you Marcel Mandos and NNO for all the extraordinary and beautiful performance experiences over the years. I've been performing different programs with the orchestra every year since 2017, and every single concert has felt like magic. You guys are incredible and like family to me. ♥

Also, thank you to everyone who has attended the concerts and for your love, warmth and enthusiasm!! I miss meeting and hugging you guys after the concerts, and to sing for you.

Much love, stay safe and hopefully see you all soon ♥
