Saturday June 3rd, and Sunday June 4th, 2017, 141 singing choirs were hosted in the medieval town of Middelburg, Zeeland, The Netherlands. They performed on various, most historic, places their repertoire. The public interest was high.

Of course, I had to make a choice and have selected some of their performances. I've enjoyed it very much. I also have tried to take some pictures. The latter however, wasn't that easy because of the restrictive circumstances. This is the first picture of the, on this occasion by me taken, mini series. It shows a choir that performs on the historic marketplace of Middelburg. The medieval town hall was the perfect 'backdrop'.

The festival had the name 'Volkoren'. In the Dutch language 'Volkoren' can be interpreted in two ways:

1. The name of a loaf of bread, baked with not refined grain (whole grain bread);

2. (a town) full of choirs.

These are a joy to watch & listen...various parts of our region do this at different times of the year!...
That building is a stunner for the architecture behind the choir...and the audience seems enthralled sitting there too!

Very interesting shot especially with the architecture of the old building as background Cornelius. In German it is chor and vollkorn - so cannot be interpreted as as in Dutch :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

This is colorful and highlights the wonderful architecture in the town even down the street on the left.

Such a wonderful experience that would be to sit and listen the the voices while taking in the fabulous view of this cathedral behind. Such detail and beautiful work in the walls of the church.
