Sound of Hope
Sound of Hope is een initiatief van Luca Andreose (72andSunny Amsterdam), Cathy Leung (BRAM Radio) en Julia Weyts (Sonhouse Amsterdam). Elke eerste maandag van de maand om 12:00 geven we het luchtalarm een nieuwe betekenis. Met muziek, verhalen van hoop en nieuw werk van lokale artiesten transformeren we een geluid van onrust in een moment van reflectie en verbondenheid. Zo bouwen we aan een groeiend netwerk van hoop in Amsterdam. Every month, across Amsterdam we hear the Dutch emergency siren (“luchtalarm”) as it is tested nationwide. We’re giving that familiar sound a new meaning. Together with 72andSunny Amsterdam, Sonhouse, BRAM RADIO and SALTO Radio, we transform Amsterdam’s sirens into the Sound of Hope: a monthly radio moment featuring messages of hope from the local community, alongside new creative work by Amsterdam-based artists. Join us every first Monday of the month at 12:00. https://broadcastamsterdam.nl/hope
