Music group Minnewit performs light music with echoes from the distant past, deeply rooted in both Dutch and Frisian tradition. With the contemporary arrangements of our trio, these sound very surprising. By adding interesting and sometimes touching background stories in a light-hearted way, Minnewit puts on a lively performance.

Music group Minnewit performs light music with echoes of the distant past, deeply rooted in both Dutch and Frisian tradition. But much of that music was also known abroad. So these were the top hits of earlier centuries. With the contemporary arrangements of our trio, these sound very surprising. By adding interesting and sometimes moving background stories in a light-hearted way, Minnewit puts on a lively performance.
All three members of our group are experienced musicians. We live in Friesland and we can present both a Dutch and a (partly) Frisian program.
Another special feature is that our music seems to appeal to a wide audience, including lovers of both folk and classical music.

In addition to light music from earlier centuries throughout the Netherlands, the group is now engaged in a special project: music and dance from the Frisian heath villages based on descriptions from the 19th century and old recordings made there in the early 20th century. Because it was a relatively isolated and poor area, that area had a very distinct culture that had its origins in a distant past.

Minnewit consists of:
Marita Kruijswijk: vocals, flutes, shawm and kromhoorn.
Rutger Dijkstra: vocals, guitars, cister and violin
Ad Bos: vocals, percussion and keys

About the price mentioned below consultation is possible. It depends on the circumstances.
It is also possible to discuss the duration of our performance.
