Echoes of a Quiet Act

An immersive experience exploring freedom, resilience, and the power of humanity.
Internationally acclaimed harpist and composer Gwyneth Wentink brings a unique sound and color to the harp through her repertoire. In her multidisciplinary performance *Echoes of a Quiet Act*, she weaves together music, storytelling, and theater into a moving tribute to Noor Inayat Khan—a Sufi musician, writer, and resistance heroine who served as a spy for the British SOE during World War II. Together with composer Wouter Snoei (electronics & soundscape) and director Cora Burggraaf, Wentink presents a unique performance where East meets West, mysticism meets courage, and past meets present.
