Looking Back: 25th Anniversary Concert of Chr. Choir Jigdaljahu

What an Evening! On February 15, 2025, we celebrated our 25th anniversary together in the impressive Laurenskerk in Rotterdam. An evening filled with praise, gratitude, and wonder, where we had the privilege of glorifying God with songs inspired by Psalm 103.

A quarter of a century of Jigdaljahu – a period in which we have passionately and devotedly proclaimed the gospel through music. What started as a group of dedicated individuals, driven by a deep desire to share God’s message through song, grew into more than just a choir—Jigdaljahu became a family. We have celebrated highs together and shared difficult moments. But above all, we look back with hearts full of gratitude.

This is thanks to the culture bearers of Jigdaljahu, the driving forces behind this choir. Some are visibly at the forefront, while others work quietly behind the scenes—in the board, committees, and organization. Yet all share the same goal: to convey the rich message of the gospel powerfully and musically with integrity.

We are grateful for conductors like Willem Arie den Hertog, who set the musical course in 1999, followed by Jeroen Bal, Bert Noteboom, and, since last year, Arjan Wouters. Thanks also to organists Ron van Ommen and Marco den Toom, now succeeded by Mark Brandwijk and Sander van den Houten. Each with their own style, but all with the same passion for praise. A special thank you to Lennart Morée, our steadfast musical pillar throughout the years—pianist, arranger, and composer.

Thank you to everyone who was there, who supported us, sang along, and encouraged us. Your presence at every concert shows that this music touches you, that the message goes beyond mere notes and melodies.
Let us continue to sing, to give thanks, to pray, to believe. Because as Psalm 103 says:

“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.”

A special thanks to Bastiaan Stolk for the beautiful photographic reflection.

Review of the Dordrecht concert

On Friday, November 15, 2024, we were allowed to give a concert in the Grote Kerk in Dordrecht, with the theme ‘Desire’ as the central theme.
We sang songs that express our desire to be closer to God, such as ‘Psalm 42’ and ‘Psalm 63’. We recited from Psalm 143, among others, in which we read about David’s deep desire for God’s guidance.
Through songs like ‘Full of Awe’ and ‘Source of Blessings’ we looked into the heart of God. With the song ‘Jesus Paid it All’ we sang about how we as sinners find our fulfillment only in Christ, through His completed sacrifice.
We closed the evening with songs like ‘No More Night’, ‘O height and depth, praise God now’ and ‘The God of Hope’. Songs that sing of a new morning. For the pilgrims of God there will never be night again, but eternal light in His presence!
We hope and pray that through the music and the declamations you as a listener have experienced something of this comfort, hope and deep longing for God.
Kees Verhoek has made a beautiful photo report of this evening. In the coming weeks there will also be videos of this concert on YouTube.
