Doors open at 19:30 with refreshments and a photo exhibition. Music begins at 20:00 with supporting acts to welcome Derek, preluding a guitar duo with Robert Bekkers. There will be plenty of opportunity during the intermission and after the concert to mingle over South African wine and peruse Derek’s newly released CD’s.

Derek’s music has been applauded as “consistently fine and immediate” [Mail and Guardian] and “a meditation coloured by interweaving tales and recollections, emotions...” [SA Rock Digest]. Grammy award winner Paul Galbraith considers him “a vital presence in the international guitar world.”

About Monument House Concert Series:
Originally built by the Dutch National Water Board for its employees in 1903 to operate the lock in front, this row of terraced houses was awarded monument status in 2003. Keulsekade 25 is the home of the Piano Guitar Duo of Anne Ku and Robert Bekkers, who co-founded the concert series in 2006 to reach local communities and international visitors.

Offering a breathtaking view of the peaceful canal between Lombok and Oog in Al neighbourhoods of (west) Utrecht, the nonsmoking venue houses a restored Steinway Grand Piano (188 cm, model A, New York 1909) and excellent acoustics with its high ceilings and centrally-heated oak floors. Collaborators and sponsors are actively sought for future concerts.
