Jongerenkoor The Messengers, Veenendaal
More than 8.5k times played this month
The Messengers means "boodschappers" (messengers). Our goal is to share His Message. We do this by singing Christian songs to His glory. We sing both English and Dutch music.
Our choir was founded on January 1, 1980, and since January 1, 2020, we have been in existence for over 40 years. Of course, this anniversary still needs to be properly celebrated, but that will have to wait a little longer.
When our choir was established, it had about 80 members, aged between 13 and 25 years. From 1988, the choir was conducted by Rob Biersteker. On his initiative, the choir was expanded to include basses and tenors.
Over the past 40 years, the choir has worked with several well-known conductors, including Peter Wildeman, Warno Ruting, and later again Rob Biersteker. As we mentioned earlier, the choir is currently led by Jan Hendrik van Schothorst. We are incredibly happy and thankful that he has joined us to strengthen our choir!
