Dear visitor of the PeTiCantus myspace,
First of all we want to thank you for visiting our myspace
Since we started PeTiCantus we noticed that musicminded people from all over the world are interested in our website. To explain what PeTiCantus means, what we're doing and why we're doing it, we decided to make an English intro.
We hope you like your stay on our website and will find the information you're looking for.
PeTiCantus started in august 2005 by two dutch “music enthusiastic†guys.
(Pe)ter Schaper, 45 years old, born in Blokker, living in Zwaag, a place near Hoorn (and Amsterdam ) ,is busy and interested in music for many years. Visiting as many concerts as possible and also organized several events. He's one of the initiators realising The Beatlesmonument in Blokker and organized the events arround this monument in the passed years.
(Ti)m Knol is only 16 years old, born in Hoorn and still living there, and is also very busy in music for a couple of years. Tim is playing in two bands himself (The Rambling Post Horses and BeRightBack) and is visiting as much (or even more) concerts as Peter. He's is also responsible for this website and many other websites.
The word Cantus in PeTiCantus is a latin word and means music, now you know what PeTiCantus means. When you read it in a different way (Petit = french for small) it also means small music. This is also true, because the events we organize are very intimate. In the beautiful and characteristed old building “Het Huis Verloren†in Hoorn , we can welcome 100 musicminded people.
Also important to know is that PeTiCantus is a non-profit foundation. Our most important goal is to let the people, and musicians, enjoy music, without commercial intentions.
From the moment we started, we noticed that a lot of people where interested in our initiative. In october 2005 Kevn Kinney and Gibb Droll started off and we had an evening wich we'll never forget (see and listen at our website!) In november 2005 Greg Trooper was our guest, as support-act we invited Eric Devries-a dutch singer-songwriter, and again we had an outstanding evening.
In 2007 many interesting and special events will take place in Hoorn at Het Huis Verloren. We now know for sure that PeTiCantus is viable and Hoorn is going to be one of the places in the northern part of Holland where you go when you want to hear music that's made from the heart.
With musical regards,
Peter and Tim
