Unique act. On his self-built glass organ Rogier Kappers, 'De Glazendraaier' plays a repertoire that varies from classical to evergreens, Beatles, Bach, Brel, Abba, etc. The hypnotic and enchanting sound of singing glass immediately draws every listener into the music.

Why did the glass organ, extremely popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, almost disappear from the face of the earth?
The story goes that the thin hypnotic sound of singing glass can put you in a trance or hypnosis
bring it. People would have gone mad...
The Glazendraaier built the only glass organ in the Netherlands, with 52 cognac, wine, champagne and port glasses. On his organ bakfiets he wanders around town and country, pops up on street corners, squares and festivals, and enchants his audience with old and new songs - from Bach to Brel - on singing glass.
