Currently, no new tours of the 150 Psalms project are scheduled. The most recent performances were during the Adelaide Festival in Feb-Mar 2020, during the Klarafestival in Brussels in March 2018 and during the White Light Festival at the Lincoln Center in New York in November 2017. The programme premiered during the Utrecht Early Music Festival in July 2017.

The Psalms portray things on a human scale. This is not the word of God being poured out over man, but the voice of man who is wrestling with life’s big questions. Both Christians and Jews have found inspiration and hope in the Psalms, and the Koran also refers to them as holy scripture. The themes found in the Psalms are equally universal: loss, compassion, consolation and hope. Today we see refugees searching for a safe haven, leaders who abuse their power, people who place fear above courage, or courage above fear. Topical themes, for thousands of years already. 150 Psalms regards the Psalms as a mirror of society: great themes from 3,000 years ago are still relevant today.
