Anton knows a thing or two about crossing borders. The singer-songwriter not only lives in the Netherlands, but also in Germany. He has already given many concerts here with up to 350 visitors, mainly in the district of Soest (including Büderich, Bad Sassendorf, Bad Waldliesborn), but also in Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt.
"Journey"
The current stage program is called “Journey”. The singer presents many new songs, but also evergreens by Reinhard Mey and Herman van Veen, among others. Cheerful, thought-provoking or simply happy songs are known to create a special atmosphere in the audience. Particularly popular and a real catchy tune: “Fußball macht Spaß”.
Sung stories
Anton van Doornmalen is a real singer-songwriter - someone who tells musical stories and makes people think: "I don't just sing, I also write most of my songs myself. I'm connected to the songs, inseparable," says the singer. "I've often asked myself why I write these songs. First of all, I don't really want to do anything other than capture a feeling that I have experienced in the presence of my family, my friends or on my own. Capture it in a song. That way, a feeling can become a memory." A feeling that lasts. Music that stays - songs that stay.
Anton van Doormalen: "The songs I sing and write can also be interpreted by anyone. They speak for themselves. That's the beauty of a performance like this: you share feelings and moments with the audience and with the band."
Professional band
The singer is accompanied by a highly professional live band made up of top Dutch musicians, including a violinist, Joke de Jong.
Charity concerts for Sibusiso
The concerts are charity concerts. All proceeds go to the charity Sibusiso e.V. Büderich, which supports a village project in Tanzania for handicapped children. The money is used to support rehabilitation measures for children and young adults with mental and physical disabilities. The help center is called “Sibusiso” and is located in Arusha at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. Not only do the therapists there do outstanding work - for the children, but also for society, in which the young people would otherwise be barely visible and no one cares about them.
