The Girls from the Radio are Back! Opening Senior Week 2026
The Radio Girls bring a nostalgic musical evening to open Senior Week 2026 in Nijkerk. Advance registration required.
De Meisjes van de Radio ('The Girls of the Radio') are Jasmijn Utermark and Aleid Borghardt, a Dutch musical duo with backgrounds in both music and theatre. Jasmijn trained at the Frank Sanders Academy for Musical Theatre in Amsterdam and works as a singer, actress and choreographer. Their interactive shows centre on the radio as the star of the evening: two-part harmonies, sing-alongs and well-known radio games from the 1950s through the 1980s. Since 2014 they have performed around a hundred times a year, with a particular focus on elderly audiences and informal carers.
The performance 'Tweede Kans' at the Brinkhuis Theater in Laren (29 April 2026) was sold out.
Jasmijn and Aleid brought out their second interactive performance 'Tweede Kans', with repertoire mainly from the sixties, seventies and eighties.
The Meisjes van de Radio performed at the Volbloeiers festival by Karavaan at the country estate Akerendam in Beverwijk, a festival aimed at people over 70.
In November 2025 they performed at De Boei in Vinkeveen, organized by Mantelzorg De Ronde Venen, with elderly people and caregivers forming the audience.
