The Gelredome in Arnhem is a stadium with a removable roof. Outside it was raining, but inside you stay dry. André had mounted about 100 chandeliers. It was really beautiful. You could hear an echo, but the acoustics were not so bad.
The concert was romantic and beautiful! When Carmen or Mirusia were singing their voices seam they acquired wings and sounded so loud in this stadium. I made some video recordings in High Definition. The sound was not so good and influenced by applauding people in my neighborhood. Laura Engel and Resie Vahsen were back in the Choir. The following sopranos have sung; Mirusia, Carmen and Suzan. I thought Carla Maffioletti was also invited to sing, but she wasn't there.
The Harlem Gospel Choir was there with other artist as we have seen before. One member spoke something in Dutch which was appreciated by the audience. André was dancing with them. It was so funny.
The HGC sang as a European choir the Sisteract and the Nun's choir from Johann Strauss. André had invited also from Vienna the Wiener Debutantenen. They dance like as in Vienna.
A Golden Coach with 6 white horses was also there. This coach was intended for Sissi.
I saw a few friends before the concert. Monique, Thea and Janny were there on Saturday and wear beautiful 17 century colorful dresses. André saw them and liked that a lot! Funny isn't it?
Even the next day it was written in the Newspapers.
On my website at http://www.myspace.com/abussemaker there are already a few video's from Arnhem for watching. Just beneath my profile picture you will find Video's. I intend to upload some more videos. I have to transform them first before uploading.
Be patience,

So enjoyed your review of the weekend concert at the Gelredome, Arie. And your videos are wonderful. And I loved seeing Monique, Janny and Thea in the beautiful dresses. I just had a thought. Any chance that you can come to Toronto mid-December with your wonderful cameras? Some people still have extra very good tickets. I have sold mine, but Sonja has a list. It would be great to see you again. So many of the Maastricht gang will be there and you would meet many more. Laurie Crowley
