Live Music

Daniel Kemish is an ‘Americana / Folk Singer’, born in England, whose voice goes right to the core. In 2015, Daniel traveled to Nashville and recorded his debut album at Ocean Way Studios. Last year Daniel spent a month alone in a mountain refuge, to compose his second album in isolation. No electricity / running water or telephones and only a wood stove for heating / cooking and melting snow. Daniel came back with a new sound and a new style that shows that he has grown up as both a songwriter and a performer.

 

A Million Shoes consists of three very enthusiastic musicians: Cees, Jack and Joseph. They have a large repertoire of original covers which they have transformed into a swing version. Result: a familiar sound in a new jacket. A Million Shoes plays with authentic instruments: double bass, upright piano, guitar, accordion and drums. And not unimportant: They are known for making atmosphere!

 

And our resident DJ NickLeBeat will be spinning pure vinyl grooves: reggae, vintage soul & funk.

Havelok percussion ensemble at re-opening V&D building

0

Tonight the old V&D building will be opened and the Havelok contemporary percussion quartet will perform there at 20:15h.

The building, at Vrijstraat in the city centre, will be re-opened as Warehouse of Innovation – Eindhoven. The venue will have a new purp

ose and is adapted to the “resilient spirit of the city, this location has reinvented itself into something bigger and better, adapting to the modern, ever-changing pace of Eindhoven,” according to Harm the organiser. Designers, artists and developers will make good use of the large space.

The Havelok ensemble which will perform tonight, was created in Rotterdam by four alumni from ‘Codarts Hogeschool voor de Kunsten’ (school of arts).

Maria, Niels, Emilio and Antonio will present their new project: ‘Innovative Sounds’. A new musical approach that takes conventional music concepts and instruments and ultimately breaks free from these traditions to create a new, transcendent, avant-garde and extravagant sound.

This ensemble is inspired by innovative and contemporary percussion pieces from composers such a Minoru Miki, Theo Lovendie, Thierry de May and Steve Reich among others.

Entrance to the concert is free to the public.

Sound design, programming, VR – 1000’s of scholars sample technology

Virtual reality, programming, operating robots, sound design, or 3D-printing. During Night of the Nerds in the Klokgebouw Eindhoven, thousands of high school students got started on technological assignments.

The purpose of Night of the Nerds, part of the Dutch Technology Week, is to get teenagers excited about technology. This intention is that students will end up following a technological field of study. Because, in the high-tech region of Eindhoven, there is a massive shortage of technicians. For that reason, 200 companies, regional municipalities, and educational institutions signed an agreement on Monday to tackle these deficits.

Night of the Nerds certainly attracted 4.500 students. This time, more secondary schools from the North and West of the country and Belgium also found their way to the event.

Come and learn about the Dutch schools in Meerhoven

More likely than not, the number one issue for parents moving to a new country is finding a school for their child that fits best their child and family’s needs.

It can become very stressful to learn about the new educational system and regulations and local habits. Not to mention practicalities related to an ordinary school day and, of course, the language issue. This is why Meerhoven Internationals Platform is organising an Education Event on Saturday, 23 June, between 09:30 and 12:30.

They are doing this in cooperation with local schools and kindergarten. The purpose of the event is to provide information about the Dutch educational system and childcare to international parents living in the Meerhoven area. During the event representatives of Meerhoven primary schools, ‘t Slingertouw, Startbaan, and the Korein Kinderplein nursery school will all hold presentations in English about their child-care and child education facilities. There will then be an opportunity for questions.

Korein Kinderplein has very generously agreed to provide free childcare during the whole event for those who will bring their children along. If you would like to attend, please register with the Meerhoven Internationals Platform on their facebook page or by emailing internationals@meerhoven.nl.

The venue still has to be determined.

Stadswandelpark to be converted into golf course

0

The money collected during the 17th edition of Parkgolf will go to Inloophuis De Eik (The Oak Centre) and Stichting Leergeld (the Leergeld Foundation).

For the benefit of the event, a golf course is being built between the preHistoric Village and the Van Abbe Museum in the Stadswandelpark. It is a full 18-holes course. It starts in the Ton Smits park at the preHistoric Village and runs via the Dommelplantsoen, the Hornemannplantsoen and the Anne Frankplantsoen to the Van Abbe Museum.

It is an event for the adventurous golfer. The grass is not cut with millimeter accuracy as is done on a real golf course. The Den Elzent and De Keersop Lions Clubs are organising Parkgolf. Under the motto ‘we serve’ they play at the golf course in Eindhoven every year.

The 17th edition of the event takes place on Saturday, 22 September,  and registrations are now open.

Party in the Park

We hope you found out that Eindhoven has quite a few nice public parks. Especially with this tropical weather.

One of the most central ones is the Stadswandelpark (just to manage expectations, it is not called Central Park). This is a nice relaxing venue to visit, stroll around, have a drink, a workout, or just relax on the grass, so if you haven’t visited it already, we can certainly recommend it, just by yourself or bring your family. Also note that the park is almost seamless connected with the Genneper Parken, so if you like green spaces, close to your home, this is the place.

To motivate you even more, this weekend (June 1-3) is probably one of the best times to visit it, as long as you like music, wine, beer or food.. and frankly which Eindhoven News reader doesn’t. There is a family-friendly festival called Slow! Park from Friday to Sunday (check the website for more details), where you can visit the park, and also taste and drink wines, all kinds of food, a biergarten and much more.

So check it out, there is something for everyone, even the very health conscious ones, and enjoy it, alone, with your friends or family. Or try to meet up with some of the members of our community, to share this great Park-experience.

Dynamo Metalfest; full day of new and old heavy metal bands

0

On July 14, 2018 the 4th edition of the Dynamo Metalfest will take place at the ‘IJssportcentrum’ (the semi covered ice-skating rink).

It’s a friendly Heavy Metal festival with a mix of some bigger names, iconic older bands, and upcoming new ones.

The Metalfest is the legacy of the legendary Dynamo Open Air (DOA) festival. This festival (organized by the heavy metal department of youth society Dynamo) started as a free festival in 1986, behind the original Dynamo building on a parking lot at Smalle Haven. After the first few editions with 7000-12000 spectators, the festival outgrew the space and moved to the ‘IJssportcentrum’ where it expanded further, and started to ask a modest contribution from the visitors.

 

Also that venue was outgrown, so it moved to the Welschap airbase (Eindhoven Airport), where it became a 3-day festival, with huge camping ground and over 100.000 visitors. It became national news when the many visitors (from all over the world but many from Germany), congested the roads around the airbase and north of Eindhoven, which resulted in massive traffic jams, that lasted over 24 hours. Some people who were stuck started their BBQ’s next to the motorway. By that time the festival was not only the favourite of the many visitors, but also of many of the bands, who played in local pubs in the area the days just before or after the festival.

After those legendary years at the airbase, that made Eindhoven temporarily the capital of the Heavy Metal world, the festival moved to different places, mostly close to Eindhoven, but also around Nijmegen. Big and promising bands kept performing, many of them on several editions. And now its back in Eindhoven, still against a modest price, to give you all the opportunity to see some great rocking bands, experience the relaxed atmosphere and perhaps sense some of its glorious past.
