Next Generation duo at Wonderfeel
Their participation in the Young Artist Platform in 2025 earned soprano Elisa Maayeshi and pianist Pieter Bogaert an invitation to perform at a future edition of the versatile Wonderfeel. Mark van de Weijer was in the audience and was impressed by this golden duo: ‘Never before have I heard and seen Schubert's “Der Zwerg” performed more eloquently than on 4 July.’

Come and listen to stories about nature from Friday 15 May to Saturday 23 May. Current, relaxing and in an intimate atmosphere.

German wandern stands for more than walking or going on foot. It means
