Camerata Trajectina

New York was once New Amsterdam: a settlement in Manhattan where the Dutch set foot in the 17th century. The first poet on shore was Jacob Steendam, who also takes the lead in this performance. From tearjerkers, drunken banter and street noise, Steendam brewed the songs with which the community anno 1660 fought, feasted and fantasized. Camerata Trajectina performs Dutch-language songs from the alleys of New Amsterdam.
