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.
