Musical tribute to Burt Bacharach, who has dozens of worldwide hits to his name.

Close To You, I Say A Little Prayer, The Look Of Love... these classics by composer Burt Bacharach are etched in everyone's musical memory. His repertoire has been sung by such luminaries as Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin, Elvis Costello and our own Trijntje Oosterhuis. When Bacharach passed away last year, Brabant singer Mats Lodenstijn knew immediately that he wanted to honor him. This wonderful music must continue to be heard! Together with his band (led by pianist Neil Foreman) he will therefore bring a musical ode to the composer with dozens of worldwide hits and unknown gems. Enjoy these sophisticated songs with influences from jazz, pop, soul and classical music.

Audience about Close to You: "Mats' beautiful voice, the stories behind the familiar songs and the intimate line-up make for a wonderful musical evening!"
