CILICE ORCHESTRA? The Music? Thinking out of the box.  “I realised Immediately I wanted real strings on the tracks and started composing while continuing my work on the other arrangements. We recorded all guitars, bass and drums hereby completing the tracks of our band. I invited some great musicians I know, active in Jazz, World and Klezmer music, for some additional recording sessions at Warning Studios”. -Theo Holsheimer

MEERTONEN (the organization,whom made this project possible):                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Theo Holsheimer and his band CILICE, with the addition of horns and samples, performed live at the anniversary festivities. Because the event was such an overwhelming, outstanding and vibrant show, Theo decided to write additional compositions for various other instruments to be able to record this wonder. A number of talented musicians, of whom many have performed at ‘Nieuw en Meer’ over the years, played parts during the recording sessions. The sessions resulted in three tracks that exceeded everyone’s expectations. From this, the CILICE ORCHESTRA was born.
