In the "large" church of Doetinchem, the Catharinakerk, we played and sang music from 1600 to 1750, from Italy and England. With the beatiful chanson "Susanne un jour" by Roland de Lassus, printed in 1560, and with the Bach aria "Höchster, was ich habe" from Cantata BWV 39.

The audience was very enthousiastic about the performance in this very acoustical church!
