Notte Bianca 2011: Utrecht delegation in Malta

adventurous, exciting and international
For the second time the City of Utrecht and the National Museum of Fine Arts cooperate in a contribution to Notte Bianca. Four Utrecht musicians joined in an ensemble especially for this occasion perform in the courtyard of the museum. The VAN VUGT / VANDOORN QUARTET promises 'adventurous, exciting and international' performances. The line-up and the sound of a special blend of instruments and personalities of Ineke van Doorn (vocals, piano), Marc van Vugt (guitar), Steven Kamperman (reeds) and Behsat Üvez (saz, ud, percussion, vocals) will pleasantly surprise the audience.

Make sure to attend this special experience in a special place!

Notte Bianca is a good opportunity for Frits Lintmeijer (Utrecht alderman for Culture) to visit Malta. Together with the heart of the Utrecht 2018-team – Peter de Haan and Bram Buijze – he will attend a fully scheduled programme with meetings and site visits. With the team Valletta 2018 he will certainly discuss the two processes for the bidbook and our (cultural) cooperation. The delegation will also meet several organisations in Malta that have been busy in cultural exchanges with Utrecht. Also the Maltese creative economy is on the agenda.

The days before Notte Bianca and during the festival 10 tango dancers from Utrecht and Malta will dance together (Programme). You're well invited to join!

So, see you in Malta!
