Project Brüder is an initiative by Dutch guitarist and composer Hendrik Jan Vermeulen from the Hanzehogeschool Groningen / Prins Claus Conservatorium. For this project, he is looking for young musicians from all over the world with a family story related to the First World War.
 
Hendrik Jan’s goal is to make a documentary film in which young musicians tell their story, using their music as soundtrack. The film aims to show that, although we may come from different countries and/or cultures, we are connected through the sacrifice our forefathers made. The film will be released in November 2018, 100 years after the ‘Great War’ ended.
 
If If you have a story you are willing to share (on camera), and would like to make a song of a contemporary WW1 poem in your own language please contact Hendrik at info@krieg1916.nl, providing your CV and your WW1 story (in general terms).
