Koen & Anton musically take you back to the 50s and 60s! They make it a great show in which they use anecdotes, videos, musical performances and a little bit of music theory to paint a time picture of the musical 50s/60s in the US and the Netherlands.
Koen & Anton musically take you back to the 50s and 60s! They turn it into a great show in which they use anecdotes, videos, musical performances and a little bit of music theory to paint a time picture of the musical 50s/60s in the US and the Netherlands.
Something special happened in the 1950s: for the first time, there was a real youth (sub)culture in the form of rock 'n roll! A major landslide whose effects we still feel today. Using stories, video and music clips, the gentlemen humorously show how this took place.
Besides the historical social context, they also look at the music itself. What was rock 'n roll like? And why did it become such a success?
In an accessible way, the men open the doors to music theory. Using well-known classics such as Bill Hailey, Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry, the character traits of real rock 'n roll are unraveled.
It also looks at the Netherlands in the 50s? Were there also real rock 'n roll artists here?
Of course, the story is interspersed with performances by Koen & Anton.

At our double party for a 40th and 75th anniversary, Koen was the right choice to have us perform. Various types of music, something for everyone. Highly recommended!

residents and family found it very nice and enjoyable. Especially that the residents were involved. Definitely for doing again.

Koen played the perfect music for my garden party! The songs sounded great and were nice to listen to! The volume was perfect and he brought a relaxed atmosphere! Koen quietly went about his business upon arrival and departure, which was very unobtrusive! Thanks for the nice music!!!

Was a fun addition to my party, before the break it was a bit of a search what the guests liked, after that the legs came off the floor. Was a successful evening.

Een hele leuke gezellige avond. Een zeer gevarieerd repertoire van hoog niveau. Jan en Koen sprongen goed in op de gedane verzoekjes en voelden zeer goed aan wat voor muziek er nodig was om de sfeer er in te houden. Ook kon je merken ze er zelf ook van genoten (ze schoten onder het spelen zelf een paar keer in de lach door de rariteiten van het publiek ) en speelden nog een enkele nummers langer door dan was besproken. Verder waren zij als personen erg prettig in de omgang, ze waren flexibel en meedenkend. Dus Jan en Koen bedankt voor de leuke gezellige avond en dit is zeker voor herhaling vatbaar

Koen's performance was wonderfully successful! Koen brings a lot of atmosphere and a sense of celebration. We had a great time dancing and singing along to the songs Koen played. Koen has a very nice voice and feels well what the audience wants to hear. Koen is an all-round artist, a top musician and also super friendly. Highly recommended at every party!

What a topavind it turned out to be, partly because of the recited song for my husband turning 50. Sung live, custom written very personal. Short lines, quick contact, was open to suggestions and made a beautiful memory for us. Also kept all appointments. Thank you!!!!

During our summer party at our daycare center, Koen was there for fun. What a success! The children, parents, grandmas and grandpas all participated. Koen is really highly recommended. He made our summer party successful. He is flexible, sociable and knows how to captivate the children. All in all, worth repeating! Thank you Koen

It was great fun and a perfect performance for our event. Koen sensed the atmosphere very well and was able to sing and play many songs chosen by the attendees. there there was also dancing so it was a very nice crowd. Definitely recommended. for our party of 80 ladies and 20 men aged 35 to 80. Very successful. Thanks again Koen!!!

Jan & Koen, You guys made it a great party for my parents to never forget. My mother is crazy about Neil Diamond. No problem at all for you guys to rehearse and play some songs. Absolutely great!
, Eelco
Very fun, sociable and enjoyed your performance as a team.

This year our lecture committee decided to hire the musical duo "Misters Robinson" to educate us about the world of Rock & Roll. Speakers Koen and Anton turned it into a great show that used anecdotes, videos, musical examples, and a little bit of music theory to paint a time picture of the musical 50s/60s. With well-known classics such as Bill Hailey, Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley, the character traits of true rock & roll were unraveled. An extremely strong story with an even much stronger musical performance. I would highly recommend this lecture to any music lover!
, Don
So enjoyed with family and friends this duo. Incredibly wide repertoire and wonderful sing-alongs. All our guests were also full of praise. TD (TopDuo)?????
, Jantien
Koen is a very nice singer, gives very nice atmosphere at the party. We listened and chose the songs at home beforehand, this helped us a lot. Koen did a very nice job. Thank you very much and regards fam. Leusink.

Koen gave an incredibly nice performance during the winter bbq due to the 10th anniversary of our location. He plays a fun and varied repertoire. Neighbors and residents were enthusiastic, enjoyed. We have received many positive reactions. Koen's performance has certainly contributed to the cozy and warm atmosphere of the party. To be repeated. Thanks again Koen!

Koen is a cool artist. He has a beautiful voice. Rock 'n' roll classics sound magical in his performance. He really helped to give a warm atmosphere to the party.

A professional musician who made the evening complete. Koen is very thoughtful and considerate. For the act I had requested songs that were not in the repertoire but were rehearsed and performed perfectly for us. The communication and planning was very pleasant together. Thank you Harrison Dean for your part in making our engagement a memory :)
, Nagini
My parents celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in part of a restaurant. The pappenheimers arrived well in advance, very pleasant to deal with and the songs certainly appealed to all the guests. Even though it was during a 3 course buffet, there was always singing along and my father of 90 got so excited that he even made a dance! Thank you on behalf of my parents for a very pleasant evening!

Koen gave a very successful performance during our wedding party in the garden! Koen and Anton would ofcourse perform as a duo, but due to circumstances Koen did the gig on his own. Although we would have liked a duo he did a great job on his own. Nice voice and played nice songs which we could select from the repertoire. We even got to do our request number, top. Thanks a lot!
, Martijn

Very satisfied overall. How they bring it and do it is exactly as we wanted. The communication also went well. I would book them again in a minute! Very successful!
