Milestone (Mijlpaal): an autobiographical solo concert. My life story, told in words and music, through pieces I love and my own compositions. A concert that can keep on growing.
Repertoire
The pieces I choose from for Milestone. Between the songs, I tell the story of my life. On some songs I accompany myself on congas.
