Violinist Rosanne Philippens embraces the sun in Keukenhof
Keukenhof wants to show the blooming park to as many people as possible. The park has therefore entered into a unique partnership with violinist Rosanne Philippens. In a 5-minute video, viewers can see and hear Rosanne embracing the sunrise in a colourful Keukenhof.
“With this video, we introduce people to something that is somewhat further from their experience,” says Bart Siemerink, managing director of Keukenhof. “Flowers, colours and music have a big influence on people's mood. We want people to enjoy the combination of colourful flowers and the touching violin music by Rosanne Philippens.”
The first hour of sunlight of the day is also known as the magic hour or the golden hour. At 6 o'clock in the morning Rosanne Philippens played the sonata No. 5 for violin by the Belgian violinist-composer Eugene Ysaÿe.
Rosanne Philippens said: “The 5th sonata of Ysaÿe is nicknamed 'The sunrise'. In this piece you hear the world slowly getting brighter: the flowers open up and the animals wake up. Finally, at the end of the play, you can hear the sun shining above the park. It's wonderful how Ysaÿe manages to express all this in notes!”
The video is part of the "Keukenhof virtually open" campaign. Every week, Keukenhof shares how the park is blooming through its social media channels and employees show their favourite places via videos. The park previously shared a 360-degree video of almost 9 minutes and the video below of the beautiful park! Keukenhof Virtually Open
