Krashna ChâTours 2022 en France

We will start our tour in Paris, the cultural center of France. There we will perform in the Église Saint-Roch on Monday the 27th of June. After we have discovered Paris, we will travel to Tours, on the Loire river. Here too we will perform with the entire orchestra and choir, on Tuesday the 28th of June in the Basilique Saint-Julien. Following the theme of this tour, we will also visit a castle (château), where we will perform in small chambermusic ensembles. We end our tour with a grand concert in the newly built Amare in The Hague on the 2nd of July. More information and tickets for this concert can be found here.
