Laurenskerk

The night is quiet over New York, dawn is breaking over Paris and in between the ocean stretches out. From the dark deep wonderful music wells up, the sea eagle sweeps to airy heights and in the nave of the Laurenskerk it all flows together in a concert that feels like an unparalleled journey across the world’s oceans.
