Telegram from the Netherlands
What would have happenend if Cornelius Vreeswijk, Sweden’s beloved troubadour, had been born in Sweden and moved to the Netherlands, played the cello instead of guitar and had been a woman?!
A Swedish Cellist, Petronella Torin proudly presents the program “Telegram uit Nederland”, where the cellist and singer Petronella Torin re-interprets Cornelius’ songs. Petronella talks about music and life in words and tones with a twinkle of humour in her eye.
Torin has a few things in common with our beloved composer and performs a personal program with Cornelius’ songs, sharing his connection with Sweden and the Netherlands.
The songs are performed in Vreeswijk’s two languages, Dutch and Swedish. A program with one foot in Sweden and the other in the Netherlands just like Cornelius himself.
Hens, songs in the wind and moonlight dances, performed with a cello and a woman’s voice in memory of Cornelius Vreeswijk.
