Wim Sonneveld - Tour de Chant (Dutch spoken)

Wim Sonneveld

Tour de Chant: an ode to Wim Sonneveld. Fifty years ago, the Dutch comedian set out with the Metropole Orchestra to hold a preliminary meeting for the Tour de Chant he had had in mind for years. On the way, he suffered a heart attack in the car and was taken to hospital by two hitchhikers he had picked up. He died there more than two weeks later of a second heart attack. Fifty years later, the Metropole Orchestra is playing a never-mentioned concert.

Metropole Orchestra pays tribute to Wim Sonneveld

Under the direction of Maurice Luttikhuis, the Metropole Orchestra pays tribute to the great Wim Sonneveld. All-rounder (and baritone) Thomas Oliemans and comedian and singer Richard Groenendijk are your guides in a program with lyrical and light songs inspired by French. It was an evening in memory of one of the greatest Dutch comedians.
