Tips for a blissful Easter

This Sunday is Easter. Finished searching for eggs or brunch at the in-laws and feel like getting out and about? MASTERS lists some activities that guarantee a blissful Easter.

Culinary Easter lunch

In the seventeenth century, the Dutch republic experienced tremendous growth, both economically and culturally. Many wealthy Amsterdammers fled the city during this time because of the sewage smell from the canals. During this time, many country estates were created. Such as the Duin and Kruidberg estate. Anno 2023 you can enjoy a four-course Easter lunch in the middle of the wooded landscape in peace and quiet in the renovated restaurant.  

 

St. Matthew Passion in The Concertgebouw 

The Matthew Passion is considered the favorite composition in the Netherlands during the Passion period. Conceived by Johann Sebastian Bach, the piece tells the Passion of Christ in which symbolism plays a major role. Bach wrote specific roles for both instruments and soloists. The narrator takes you, the audience, through the story and is interspersed by the choir. The concert can be attended this Sunday, April 9 in the evening as well as in the afternoon.
