On the opening day of the Dutch Book Week 2009 Corrie van Binsbergen invites well-known Dutch writers on stage. With Ramsey Nasr, who was recently chosen as National Poet of the Netherlands, the guitarist celebrates the release of their collaborative CD Wonderbaarlijke maand. The first copy will be presented to Remco Campert, for whom Nasr wrote the title poem. Campert will also do a guest performance. Toon Tellegen will read new work following the theme of this book week, animals in literature. Tellegen’s absurd, moving animal stories are a constant source of inspiration for Van Binsbergen and her quintet. Preceding the concert a retrospective.
