NRC, Rahul Gandolahage, 13th of August 2019
Unfortunately, the weather gods had other plans on the night of the opening of Amsterdam Canal Festival. Luckily the opening concert was already moved a few hours in advance to the Zuiderkerk. [...] Within an hour that musically covered all styles became clear that once again everyone will find a concert for his taste.
Noord-Amsterdams Dagblad, 13th of August 2019
Directed by Annechien Koerselman The Canal Festival presented this evening a sample of all the good things, which will pass in the coming days in review during the festival, in the style of the 2019 festival theme of Women's Treasures. [...] The Zuiderkerk transformed this evening in a beautiful concert hall where different art forms came together.
