Become part of Cantatekaravaan

Join in.

Cantatekaravaan depends on far more than musicians alone. Hosts, donors, volunteers and drivers - together we bring the music to the audience.

The network

Everyone carries
a part of the journey

Behind every concert is a network of people: a host offering a spare room, a driver moving instruments, a volunteer at the box office, a donor making it possible. Choose below how you would like to join in.

Become a host for
Cantatekaravaan

We can realise our concert series thanks to hospitable hosts who offer a spare room to our musicians. Would you like to join? By offering a room, you sponsor the musicians' stay and create a warm, welcoming environment. You receive, among other things, a free concert ticket and sometimes the chance to attend a rehearsal.

It is a special opportunity to become part of our network and enjoy good conversations and new friendships.

What you can do

Other ways
to join in

Besides hosting, there are many other ways to contribute. Every role - small or large - keeps the caravan moving.

Donor

With a donation you help Cantatekaravaan travel on. From a one-off contribution to a regular gift - every donation counts.

Donate now

Volunteer - box office & welcome

Checking tickets, welcoming the audience, setting out chairs and handing out programmes. You are the first face visitors see - and therefore indispensable.

Sign up

Volunteer - driving & transport

Drive musicians and instruments through Zeeland: from rehearsal venue to church, from church to host address. With a car or van, you keep the caravan mobile.

Sign up

Volunteer - logistics

Music stands, sheet music, cables, coffee - without logistics there is no concert. Help with setup, packing down and everything around it, so the musicians can play.

A host's story

When another violinist comes to stay

The phone rings. "Could you host another violinist at the end of next month?" Anneke does not have to think long. The 76-year-old Zeeland resident has hosted Cantatekaravaan musicians for years. A few times each season, a musician stays at her home.

What once began as a practical place to stay grew into something much more valuable. Conversations start at the kitchen table - about music, of course, but just as often about life beyond it. Age turns out to matter surprisingly little.

On Sunday, Anneke sits in the audience herself. Sometimes with a mission: a forgotten charger, a scarf, a book. These are small things, but they are exactly where the charm of hosting lies.
