Eric Vloeimans feat. Göksel Yilmaz Ensemble
Sunday, May 20, 2012 at Beauforthuis
In 2010 Beauforthuis brought master guitarist Jan Akkerman with Göksel Yilmaz Ensemble together and at the same stage Eric Vloeimans and Jan Akkerman were linked. This led to two great performances.
A meeting between Eric Vloeimans and Göksel Yilmaz Ensemble will also surely bring something beautiful, we thought. The ensemble is characterized by its great rhythmic power, accompanied by a particular range of sounds and instruments. As one of the greatest trumpet players of our country Eric Vloeimans also performed with Kyteman.
