Amaka Summer Festival

Music

Date:  

Location: Heerlen-Centrum

The Amaka Summer Festival is designed to let people hear how exciting and interesting classical music can be. Young classical musicians perform in small ensembles at various public venues in downtown Heerlen, with concerts lasting about 20 minutes. Exciting, fun, surprising, free and of high quality.

The Amaka Summer Festival opts for public spaces outside (almost all of them) with an alternative inside, should the weather not be good.

So be surprised!

Who is Amaka?
At the beginning of our era, Heerlen was a Roman fortress town: Coriovallum. A potter named Lucius (hence Luciushof!) worked in Coriovallum.
On one of his pottery vases a text has been found addressed to his beloved. Her name was Amaka.
