For the opening of Omrin's Werklandschap van de Toekomst (Work Landscape of the Future), Foltaazje created the musical concept and filled in the opening. A special day: on 3 June 2026 we performed for Her Majesty Queen Máxima and all invited guests, together with Iris Kroes (vocals and harp) and a Frisian-speaking children's choir we put together ourselves.

The concept: the future belongs to the next generation

What kind of music fits the opening of a work landscape of the future? Our answer: give a voice to the generation that future is for. That is why a children's choir was at the heart of the opening.

The choir sang our own Frisian translation of We Are The World: Wy Ha De Wrald. A song about sharing responsibility for the world, in the language of the region, sung by the children who will inherit that world.

The performance

We put together a Frisian-speaking children's choir and rehearsed the song with the kids. Iris Kroes accompanied the choir on harp and vocals, supported by a backing track we composed and produced for the occasion. Live, it sounded intimate and at the same time big enough for an open-air audience.

The response

“I was in the building during the run-through in the morning and already got goosebumps. Later, for the real thing, it was even more beautiful. Amazing how music can evoke such emotion, especially when children are involved.”
— John Vernooij, managing director of Omrin (translated from Dutch)
