Schubert's Ave Maria at the railway-station in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. TAKE 9

This was a very special performance of the famous Dutch vocalist Pien van Gerven and her Spanish piano player Raquel Garzás García-Pliego, educated; Conservatorio Superior de Música de Aragón

Pien sings Schubert's Ave Maria in a wonderful railway station ambiance.

This is a part of the project “Buiten spelen” (playing outdoors) in the Netherlands.
Pianos are placed in the public domain. Everyone can play if he or she wants to.
The railway-station gives a great ambiance.
