Street musicians Bruges.
The two couples she came out of Spain, but it was impossible for more information
The four musicians make nice music, the lead singer was wonderful
Who knows this group I want always the picture to this group send, with much pleasure
Bruges, Sounds great!

Back in the middle Ages, internationally renowned Flemish polyphonists were welcome guests in the elegant city palaces of the rich Burgundians. In 2017, Bruges is the city of classical music. The Concertgebouw, conjuring up the vivid memory of Bruges in 2002, the year in which the city was Cultural Capital of Europe, is synonymous with impressive acoustics and international top architecture. Regular events in its repertoire are the annually recurring themed festivals, spread over several days, such as the Bach Academy, the Budapest Festival and Surround! ... Bruges is also the habitat of MAFestival, the internationally renowned early music festival. Every summer, it presents and creates a wide range of activities with top musicians and promising ensembles. The symphonic orchestra Anima Eterna Brugge has it’s permanent home in Bruges. If the musicians are not touring abroad, you can listen to them in Bruges.This is certainly also true of the Bruges carillon, which has been accommodated in the Belfry for over 500 years, and the intimate ‘Cathedral Concerts Bruges’, concert series where the organ takes centre stage. Make sure you consult the concert diary before you visit Bruges!

I hope you like it.

Hello John,
They look like serious musicians, so without even hearing them I get a strong feeling they sounded good. The photo is also good, with fine sharpness and nice colours. The wall and windows provide a fairly neutral background and the cobble stones look much better than asphalt.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi John,

You have captured well the action of the musicians. The point of view is showing the details of the musical instruments. It is clear and sharp. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Hello John,

It is a pity that we don't get audio as well as visual!
I'm sure the musicians were great to listen to.
As it is, we will just have to be satisfied with your excellent photograph, showing the musicians neatly grouped in front of the slightly reflective shop windows. I see they are all dressed in shorts, indicative of the hot weather.

My warm regards,
Bev 😊

emka (158672) 2018-08-04 12:59

hello John, I suppose that they sell their disks, so it is The Joy Van Band from Toledo. They played in the streets of France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, and Spain. You could send them this picture on Facebook, I am sure they would be happy to have such a nice photo from Bruges.

KInd regards Malgo

Bonjour, cher ami John,
Voir et entendre des musiciens m'attire toujours autant, hélas, ce genre artistique disparaît de nos rues.
L'ambiance est bien restituée à travers cette composition.
Amitiés.

Hello John,

A good group portrait of the Spanish musicians. Excellent sharpness with a pleasant diffused light & the patterns formed by the dark fg flagstones enhance the shot. Tfs!

ktanska (45018) 2018-08-08 11:11

Hi John,
A quartet is not so usual as street musicians go. Quite charming, and choice of instruments looks interesting too. I can imagine Bruges is fairly good place for street musicians as the city receives so many visitors.
Kari

cornejo (61504) 2018-08-09 12:32

Hello John,
This is a very fine daily life photo. I hope they make enough money this way. You also caught nice reflections on the windows. 👍
Regards,
MT

alvaraalto (42804) 2018-08-23 5:34

Dag John,
Een interessant samengestelde groep met gitaar, cello, viool, een tamboerijn en zang en bovendien luchtig, zomers gekleed. Aan de cd’s in de cello-kist kan je zien dat ze professionals zijn. Het zal heerlijk geklonken hebben. Echt iets voor jou om daar z’n mooie foto van te maken.
Groet uit een bewolkt Haarlem

Miguel82 (47110) 2020-07-10 12:06

Hallo John, each member of that group has its own role. The man on the right is singing whereas the others are playing different instruments. They hope some coins in exchange of the animation they create in that street. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.
