Night of the Proms in Saarbruecken, 25.07.1999

In celebration of the 1000th anniversary of the town of Saarbruecken (Germany), an open air concert,
"NOKIA Night of the Proms", was held  on July, 25st, 1999.

I had the huge luck of getting two backstage passes and I had the great pleasure to personally meet
Alan Parsons and Ian Bairnson. All photos were taken by Aart Nienhuis (http://home.wanadoo.nl/aart.nienhuis/) from the Netherlands (who took care of the passes) and Anja from Germany.

A big THANK YOU to Anja and Aart!
