From 19.09 until 22.09 the AGRICOLA Choir was travelling to the Netherlands for some concerts.
The trip was organised by invitation of the Dutch Jeroen Bosch Choir of Den Bosch. With this choir we have an exchange program.
The first town we visited in the Netherlands after landing at Eindhoven airport was Son en Breugel.
It was the scene of heavy fighting at the end of the Second World War, particularly during Operation Market Garden.
