The Hague chamber choir YOIK brings a programme inspired by the Northern Lights to the Lutherse Kerk and Duitse Kerk on two Sunday afternoons in November.
Conducted by Raoul Boesten, Aurora draws on music from Iceland, Scandinavia and the Baltic region. The repertoire ranges from the ancient Hymn to Nikkal to Hans Zimmer’s Aurora.
The choir prepared for the project during a visit to Iceland’s Westfjords, where the singers rehearsed and experienced the Northern Lights. For this tenth YOIK project, former and prospective members join the choir, expanding it from around 30 to more than 50 voices.
Sophie Zaaijer plays the nyckelharpa, a traditional Swedish keyed string instrument, and Fieke van den Hurk plays the hurdy-gurdy.
Sunday 22 November: 15:15, Lutherse Kerk, Lutherse Burgwal 7–9, The Hague.

On Sunday 15 November, an intimate classical guitar recital at the Oud-Katholieke Kerk brings together music by Johann Sebastian Bach and John Dowland with pieces from historic Scottish lute manuscripts, all performed on classical guitar.
The programme is performed by Scottish-Indian guitarist Samrat Majumder, who has a strong connection to The Hague: he studied at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague and graduated cum laude. He is currently touring across the UK and Europe and in 2026 was named a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, Classic FM Rising Star and Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship Artist.
The concert also has a timely historical connection. 2026 marks 400 years since the death of John Dowland (1563–1626), whose music is being commemorated internationally this year.
With its international performer, The Hague connection and programme spanning English, Scottish and European musical traditions, we thought the concert might be of interest to The Hague’s international community.
Sunday 15 November 2026 · 16:00
