Marja de Jong - Harpsongs and more...
Marja de Jong studied singing, conducting and composing at the conservatories of Arnhem and The Hague (NL). She coaches (professional) singers. After graduation Marja switched to mostly light classical repertoire, s.a. folk, medieval, singer-songwriter and meditative music.
This refined multi-instrumentalist accompanies her own singing mostly on Celtic harp, alternated with many unusual instruments like a.o. domra, lute (oud), psalterium, zither, tanpura, harpsichord, several ukes, (foot pumped) handharmonium, melodica, concertina, and... loop station.

Play harp for more Love, Harmony and Peace...
After playing harp for some months, you can play along with these videos (and sing)!
This way you will put nice vibes into the world. The more, the better.
There is a slow version as well, and at first you could play only left, then only right, and later with both hands....
Ein bißchen Frieden, a tempo or slow.
All you need is love, a tempo or slow.
In perfect harmony (I'd like to teach the world to sing), a tempo or slow.
"On Sunday 24 November we had a chance to hear the beautiful music of Maja de Jong for an hour. In the Groenestraatkerk she performed her songs with great enthusiasm. She sings in Dutch, English, Spanish, French, Greek and German.
She accompanies her songs herself with, for example, harp, ukulele or mini-lute. The lyrics are often about people and life here on earth. They have a particularly positive appearance and give you a lot of energy.
We enjoyed Marja and her music." ~ Brigitte and Obe Hobma, 24-11-’24 Groenestraatkerk Nijmegen.
You sing straight from the heart.

The Christmas concerts of the MYRTHE TRIO have themes like Light, birth and being welcome on earth. They usually wear castle clothes and bring their heartwarming lyrics on medieval and folk melodies, alternated with some joyfully swinging songs.
MYRTHE naturally plays acoustic music only. Performers: singer, vocal coach, conductor, multi-instrumentalist and composer Marja de Jong, singer, chorus-singer, singing teacher and choral conductor Saskia Jonk, and Liwenna Tyms with vocals and various instruments.Together they sing in beautiful harmonies and play special instruments like harp, chest harp, hand harmonium, psaltery, recorder and chimes, accompanied by various percussion sounds. Their audience will not only enjoy their soothing sound bath and their festive appearance, but joins in regularly!
♪ Singer, vocal coach, conductor, multi-instrumentalist and composer Marja de Jong graduated at the conservatory, took drama lessons, master classes and immersed himself in lighter repertoire, folk, medieval and meditative music. She coaches (professional) singers. As an acoustic singer/ songwriter Marja writes in various genres on themes like Light, Love, Connecting, music and nature.This fine stringed multi-instrumentalist accompanies her warm and radiant voice on mostly unusual instruments like Celtic harp, domra, lute (oud), either or not foot pumped hand harmonium, several ukes, chest harp, guitar, recorders, tanpura, harpsichord, piano, keyboard, melodica, concertina, percussion of all kinds. More information on http://marjadejong.jouwweb.nl
♪ Saskia Jonk has much experience as a professional soloist, choral singer, voice teacher and choir conductor. In addition to her studies at the Schumann Academy Saskia studied the Estill Voice Training System. She had singing lessons with Elena Vink, Ineke Kieft, Paul Tripels and Anja Kwakkestein and others.Saskia accompanies himself on guitar and piano. She prefers to work with professional musicians. Saskia Jonk teaches singing of both light and classical music in the surroundings of Nijmegen/ Wijchen, and assists parents with small children in singing and making music together, creating a way to freely explore and develop.
♪ Liwenna Tyms had for her musical foundation lessons panflute, trumpet, guitar, ukulele, drums and djembe. A theater course brings her an even broader support. As a child Liwenna performed the leading role in a musical, in which she also sang as a soloist. The singing comes from her father. Since Liwenna likes Medieval Festivals so much, she prepares herself from September 2016 to join the concerts of Marja de Jong with Medieval, Folk and Swing music. Now Liwenna sings as a Myrthe Musician the higher backing vocals, while playing instruments like the psaltery, the ukulele, the chimes and various percussion instruments.
A few audio impressions: Adeste Fideles, a Medieval style composition of Marja, that starts slowly and ends festive; Jingle Bells in a swinging coat created by Marja's hand. VIDEO

Donderdag 8 dec 2016, 14:30-15:30 UKE-GROEP + deel van Kerstlicht, Dorpsnoot: Loostraat 68, LOO. Aansluitend: gezellig napraten en een drankje nuttigen. U kunt niet meer bestellen voor dit concert.
De UKE-GROEP komt bijeen op de 2e zaterdagen van de maand in omgeving Arnhem. Tokkelen en strummen, zowel klassiek als swingend, zowel van tabulatuur als van accoorden. Zangeres, zangcoach, dirigente, multi-instrumentaliste en componiste Marja de Jong, treedt natuurlijk akoestisch op met zang en diverse instrumenten zoals harp, kistharp, handharmonium, ukelele, blokfluit en xylofoon, vergezeld van diverse percussie klanken. Haar publiek komt niet alleen genieten van haar zalvende klankbad en haar feestelijke uitstraling, maar neemt regelmatig deel aan het geheel!
