Born in Utrecht in 1945, van Veen has spent sixty years crossing the boundaries between song, theatre and visual art - performing in five languages at venues from Carnegie Hall to the Konzerthaus Wien. His 'Achtzig' tour, marking his 80th birthday, brings that same restless creativity back to the stage.
