Luckily the entire performance was recorded. The video of this recording was already released on the websites of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra as well as the Concertgebouw. Now the video of the entire CocoRosie concert is also available to the world through Fabchannel.

Watch now, and see how an entire classical string orchestra sounds when combined with one of the craziest duos around.

The sisters got nicknamed Coco and Rosie at a young age by their mother. This is where the name CocoRosie derives from.

During their childhood the sisters had been living all over America and lost track of each other during their teens. Sierra ended up in Paris to become an opera singer and Bianca lived in Brooklyn. In 2003 Bianca paid an unannounced visit to Sierra in Paris. Ever since the two are inseparable.

Within two months they recorded the CocoRosie debut album ‘La Maison De Mon Reve’, which was released in 2004. The next year ‘Noah’s Ark’ followed and in 2007 ‘The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn’. Since that time, the band has been touring all over the world.

Mike Patton’s latest project is called Mondo Cane. In Mondo Cane he performs a repertory of post-war Italian songs, some of which are in totally new arrangements but which are often surprisingly true to the style nevertheless

With a slik haircut and white custume, Patton puts on the role of a charismatic singing showmaster. On the other side there are the vocal fireworks for which Patton is renowned and that display the versatility of his voice. This makes Mondo Cane a schizophrenic, surprising and thrilling project.

All music is composed by Mike Patton together with Daniele Luppi, a young and talented Italian film music composer. On this special evening, organized by Holland Festival, the music is played by the Metropole Orchestra.

Kaizers Orchestra is a hard-hitting alternative rock band with heavy East-European influences in their rock sound. These Norwegians are notorious for their live shows. Expect gasmasks, oil barrels, crowbars and a gipsy final.

All vocals are in Norwegian dialect and tell dark stories about mafia, Russian roulette, revolution, resistance, victims of war and sailors. Kaizers Orchestra was founded in 2000.

Their first album ‘Ompa Til Du Dor’ (2001) was awarded with the prestigious Spelleman price (the Norwegian Grammy). The band’s fifth album is called ‘Maskineri’, which was released in 2008.
