Huelgas Ensemble

Saint Michael Church
Paul Van Nevel has been called a musical detective, a Poirot or a Morse, according to one’s personal preferences; he spends about half his time scouring libraries for snippets of information. A striking feature of the choral style of the Huelgas Ensemble is its exceptional clarity.

Trains with Children - An Exhibition of Documents
22-02-2008 - 14-03-2008
Central Library of the Municipal Szabó Ervin Library, Small Gallery
Opening: 22 February, 3 p.m.
After World War I, trains carried over 50,000 weak and hungry children from Hungary to the Netherlands and Belgium. Responding to the call of the churches, thousands of Dutch and Flemish families temporarily accepted into their homes young girls or boys orphaned or destitute in war-ravaged Hungary. Children normally spent four or five months with their foster parents, but a two or three-year stay was not uncommon, and a number of them were eventually adopted. The decades to come showed the children to be better than the diplomats at maintaining these international contacts.
