MUSIC PROGRAM
Great photography sometimes needs great music. During Rotterdam Photo 2023, you will have the chance to discover DRAADLOOS and FLORA in a live performance.
DRAADLOOS
This musical duo got to know each other while in college in 2010.
At various house and student parties, their musical chemistry grew by spontaneously picking up a guitar and entertaining people.
After going their separate musical ways for years, they decided in 2022 to officially continue as a duo. And with quite a kick start! Through an audition they actually ended up on the Alpha stage of Lowlands!
When: 11 February 15:00
Where: Willemsplein 85, 3016 DR Rotterdam

FLORA
Welcome to the disruptive force that is FLORA. This Rotterdam-based cutting-edge singer/songwriter is known for her compelling lyrics, distinct harmonies, and dark touch to modern-day pop.
FLORA released her debut single ‘rinse & repeat’ last summer. The artist has said that the uptempo electro-pop song “is essentially saying fuck you to serial daters who keep making the same mistakes and never look inward when looking at what’s causing problems”.
When: 12 February 15:00
Where: Willemsplein 85, 3016 DR Rotterdam
