Director & violinist: Guido Dieteren / The Maestro
From the DVD "Live in Kerkrade". New concert on 29-06-2019, more information on www.themaestro.nl!
The city Kerkrade is home of the statue “D’r Joep”: the Dutch national monument for all mine workers. In Kerkrade and Limburg, these mine workers are called “Koempels” (buddy). Many parents and grandparents of families in south-Limburg worked in the mine/ mining, often under severe conditions. My own grandfather (mom’s side) and Wendy’s grandfather (grandfather Kokkelkoren) worked underground in mines for years. It is because of the hard work of these generations, that we are able to study and stand in the spotlights now. We played this beautiful music in honour of these mine workers, and all other mine workers worldwide.
