Hét Concertkoor

About

Hét Concertkoor is a choir that tackles the big classical choral works with a full orchestra and professional soloists. Handel's Messiah is a favourite of theirs: they performed it in December 2014 and then, by their own account, figured it was high time to do it again. The choir is rehearsed by Alex Vermeulen, who also sings as a tenor soloist. They like to bring in fresh vocal talent too. Soprano Elles Venhuizen, who graduated cum laude from the Amsterdam Conservatory, first appeared with them as a soloist and has since returned for several seasons. The choir has also made a habit of supporting Ukrainian neighbours with its concerts, so the singing comes with a community side.
