RITA REYS YOUNG AT HEART

For the first time in five years Rita Reys returns to the Bimhuis stage; a unique opportunity to see ‘Europe’s First Lady of Jazz’ perform in intimate surroundings. Fans and critics agree that Reys embodies the summit of vocal jazz in The Netherlands and that her delivery hasn’t lost any of its intensity, even after 65 years of singing on stage. NRC Handelsblad wrote in 2008: ‘Her sense of timing is as strong as ever and with each concert she always performs with subtle shifts of accent.’
