Willem Breuker Kollektief


After a parting tour of the U.S. and the Netherlands, Willem Breuker Kollektief plays one of the last performances at Paradox.
In the spirit of founder Willem Breuker (1944-2010), the ensemble brings Breuker compositions, of 'greatest hits' as well as material not previously performed. This is one of the last times the band can still be seen and heard. There are 2 more sold out concerts in the Amsterdam Bimhuis and then the canvas for this unique orchestra is finally fallen. Make sure you're there!

Willem Breuker gave the Dutch music scene over again innovative impulses. As a composer he united diverse styles in theatrical and cabaret performances to the widest possible audience.
"Breuker's prolific output, boundless energy and optimism leaves an incandescent inspiration for future generations" (The Guardian).
