Our day kicked off with the opening of the Proximity music programme across numerous venues in the city. The first glimpse of installations and performances from the likes of Laurie Spiegel & Mark Fell, Pelle Schilling and Hans Beckers looked amazing, make sure to check out the full programme for free over the weekend between performances. As we shifted to the evening, we saw stunning opening performances from Evelien van den Broek and Ale Hop, before Genevieve Murphy and Andrius Arutiunian took the stages at Paard and Korzo respectively. The end of the night saw Lea Bertucci treat us to two incredible performances at the Lutherse Kerk, and Pan Daijing before Lyra Pramuk took the stage at Paard for a show-stopping end to Friday night. There was plenty more on show, stay with us today for more! Check out highlights below:
