Frommermann

The love for the Comedian Harmonists brings together six friends in 2005. On behalf of the Grachtenfestival, they give a new voice to the music that was banned in 1935. With great pleasure, they successfully dedicate themselves to these wonderfully melancholic and virtuosic songs that conquered the world in the dark 1930s. In honor of the founder Harry Frommermann, they celebrate their debuts on Dutch stages under his name as ‘Frommermann’.

In the following years, Frommermann evolves into one of the most versatile ensembles in the Netherlands. Following the example of their musical heroes, they gather songs and music from all directions and genres, from different eras, in various languages, tailored to their group: 5 male voices, piano, and guitar, guaranteed to be accompanied by humor, melancholy, exuberance, and an unrestrained joy of playing.

They have long been touring beyond their national borders, captivating audiences with various sensational programs.

Current programs:

Frommermann celebrates Christmas
Frommermann during the Christmas season is almost as traditional as the Christmas festivities themselves. The seven musical friends select their repertoire from eight centuries of Christmas music. Sometimes with a view towards the sky, other times deeply rooted with both feet in the snow.
