Yoga in Concert XL

Yoga in Concert has been a regular part of Oranjewoud Festival for years. This edition, however, goes a big step further than before. Besides the well-known yogis Jan Kuiper and Yvonne van der Hoop, the young Somer Chamber Orchestra conducted by Rolf Verbeek presents itself with the 45-minute work Raga Malika by the young composer Arjan Linker. He writes about it:

'After I discovered the Hindustani classical music of northern India, my life changed completely. Attracted by the beauty of raga, I suddenly found myself listening and practicing for hours, traveling to India for lessons and making friends for life. Now, four years later, I felt the urge to share some of this beauty in orchestral colors that I have known and loved all my life. With the blessing of my gurus, I present a Raga Malika for drums and orchestra.
