Caitlin and Min-Jeong in Utrecht

Caitlin and Min-Jeong in Utrecht, from their Youtube travel blog

Our first concert is tonight in Utrecht, Holland. We’re incredibly fortunate to have gotten over jet lag having been in the Netherlands for a few days. We spent the last few days at the home of two passionate chamber music supporters Hans and Annelies Dammers. They present concerts in their home just outside the small country town of Goedereede. What an enjoyable start to our trip!! A beautiful, tiny concert hall with such an enthusiastic audience! Great food, fascinating people and a peaceful place to get some last minute work done. Our experience reminds me of how important chamber music is in some people’s lives and in turn how rich the experience of meeting such people is.
