Lovebird: Dennis Kivit, Danique Kivit, Thomas Kwakernaat at TEDxHaarlem

Lovebird is a 'small, but powerful' composition of singer-songwriter Dennis Kivit inspired by Sir Paul McCartney's 'Blackbird' ... wich again was inspired by J.S. Bach! Dennis will tell the story about how he came to write the song and let the music take you to a different and inspiring place of stillness... and let you experience the power of small! Dennis is a big fan of the Tedtalk by Benjamin Zander Dennis is a voice teacher at the Utrecht Conservatory. He studied jazz singing en theatre and played in the musical Les Miserables in Carré, Amsterdam. He toured with 'Montezuma's Revenge in Holland and Germany and now gives 'homecoming concerts' where you can meet the artist at home and find a very inspiring musical experience. He recorded his newest CD'THUIS!' with guitarhero Jan Akkerman. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
