With their Golden Oldies programme A Kiss From Then Astrid Stockman and Liesbeth Devos have a crystal-clear mission: to delight senior citizens with gems from our musical cultural heritage.
Diving especially for you Stokman and Vos in the very best melodies from the classical and light repertoire. Sing along with Bobbejaan Schoepens The lights of the Scheldt, dream away at the famous Flower duet from the opera Lakmé and imagine yourself for a moment in seventh heaven with Schubert's Ave Maria.
Reviews
"What a delightful miniature! Even 'feelgooder' is hard I think. Everyone enjoyed themselves, both on stage and in the stands (which was almost demolished by stampeding seniors demanding an extra bis number)."
Johan Wouters, director-programmer De Velinx, Tongeren.
"I sat and listened. Nothing but that: listening and absorbed in the music. At the first notes of 'Two Girl on the Beach', something in my chest contracted, and when moments later the deadly beautiful instrumental interlude erupted, tears of emotion ran down my face. Incredible after all, how music works its way straight in. This is... happiness, it flashed through me. 'Testament' by Boudewijn de Groot, 'Mia' by Gorki and as an apotheosis the 'Pastorale'.by Liesbeth List and Ramses Shaffy, completed the list. I remained seated for a while after that, of my milk by so much beauty/ poignancy. When I get old and can no longer get out and who knows in a retirement home, they should let me hear this...I thought. It seemed like a comforting thought. When you can't do anything anymore, are nobody anymore then there is always music."
