The background

Corine Koole about love

What is love? What does love sound like? Although there’ll never be one definitive answer to these questions, you can reflect on them and make music about them. Music, ideas and poems alternate in a programme with love as its central theme.

A wedding cantata and a cantata about parting“

Poetess Maud Vanhauwaert and publicist and podcast maker Corine Koole dwell on a festive wedding cantata and a cantata about friendship and parting. Metaphors for connection and separation, love and sorrow; rewarding subjects for the ‘pulpit’. Corine Koole is known for ‘Lust & Liefde’, one of the most popular columns in the newspaper de Volkskrant. In 2018, she published ‘De zeven wetten van de liefde’ (The seven laws of love), a love bible of almost 250 pages. The Flemish poetess Maud Vanhauwaert has written various award-winning books of poems. She has previously recited poems in theatres, operas and a sheepfold.
