The Royal Netherlands Marine Band, together with Carel Kraayenhof (bandoneon), presents a musical tribute to a special and moving moment in recent Dutch history. On February 2, 2002, Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and Máxima Zorreguieta exchanged vows, a day that many still remember vividly. Central to this program is that one unforgettable moment: the emotional performance of Adiós Nonino, during which the world witnessed the famous “royal tear.” Together with Carel Kraayenhof, the Marine Band returns to this intense memory and brings this moment back to life.

But Silver Tears is more than a look back. It is a musical journey through 25 years of connection, love, and shared history of the royal couple, from that one moving beginning to the present. In a rich and varied program, memories are set to music and emotions are made palpable anew.

Let yourself be carried away by the fantastic sounds of the Royal Netherlands Marine Band and the penetrating voice of the bandoneon, and experience how music connects past and present, in a story that continues to this day.

If you saw him now, you wouldn't say so: Kasper used to prefer staying in the background. Those days are over. He has, in fact, discovered a different Kasper within himself. A Kasper who dares to take up more and more space. Connecting with other people is also getting easier, although the tricky part of a conversation remains that you have no control over what the other person will say in return. From now on, Kasper is allowed to be himself. People will no longer cross his boundaries. At least, that is the intention. In his new show, Kasper is eager to tell us how he does that. And to show us. We are curious to see what we can learn from him this time.
