Herman Van Veen - Today

Herman van Veen dives into the theaters with his ensemble led by Edith Leerkes. Met someone at the market recently who looked at me in surprise. “Do you still exist?” Had the tendency to turn around. We started talking. The man had seen me in the sixties in the theater. He had once emigrated but returned to the Netherlands to be buried in Utrecht in due course. Told him that besides the genetic luck, singing probably ensured that I can still play about one hundred and forty performances a year with heart and soul. Of course, it creaks here and there and I don't jump as high as at seventy-eight years old. So yes sir I am still here. And if it's up to me even longer still. Herman van Veen Herman van Veen (1945) is a singer, writer, composer, painter, and theater maker. Since his debut in 1965, he has traveled the world with his performances.
