If, as a young talent, you can effortlessly hold your own alongside the Netherlands' greatest diva, Karin Bloemen, then you are a promise for the future. For two seasons, Anna Sollewijn was her guest soloist and made a stunning impression on the audience with her beautiful voice, immense virtuosity, and more than charming stage presence.
A new generation of female singers is on the verge of breaking through with surprising crossovers between pop, jazz, and classical music, managing to win over their contemporaries. Anna is no exception to this, with the icing on the cake being that she can scat like no other, deafeningly well! In her debut program, Anna’s Story of Amy, Anna returns to the music of Amy Winehouse: the music that inspired Amy in her search for her own identity. Amy’s role models—artists such as Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra—turn out to be largely the same as Anna’s.
