Trijntje and the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw now bring this energy and craftsmanship to the stage.

Trijntje Oosterhuis and Stevie Wonder
For Trijntje Oosterhuis, Stevie Wonder was the inspiration to become a singer. A meeting with him when she was 19, which led to singing together backstage, was a life-changing experience for her. After the breakup of the successful band Total Touch in 1999, Trijntje drew inspiration from Songs in the Key of Life for her first Stevie Wonder tour. This tour, which took place 25 years ago, resulted in one of her best-selling albums.

The Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw
The Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw consists of world-class Dutch jazz musicians. The big band is among the top in Europe, has won multiple Edison Awards, and has previously collaborated with top musicians such as Chick Corea, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Joshua Redman, and James Carter. The orchestra aims to make more than a century of (Dutch) jazz accessible to new generations, but also looks ahead and collaborates with contemporary (jazz) musicians from all over. With Trijntje Oosterhuis, they previously released the album "Wonderful Christmastime" on the renowned Blue Note label.
