Dit is een opname van een benefietconcert op 28 juni 2020 ter ondersteuning van artiesten tijdens de Corona periode. Emma was toen 12 jaar. Het concert was georganiseerd door de Emma's broer van Enzo. Je kunt heel goed zien dat Emma een groeiachterstand heeft door de gastroparesis waar ze aan lijdt.
Thanks for this. The whole concert you can find on you tube. It was very good. I have watched it several times. Enzo is now a fantastic violinplayer, Sophie's voice has become more full and operatic, very good too, and Emma of course has a unique voice and meanwhile is conquering the world. A wonderful family ❤🤗
I really like this performance by Sophie, ably supported by the instrumentalists! She has a fantastic voice and stage presence. I’m singing it round the house now but given I don’t speak Dutch, it’s not working out that well!
This concert was on June 28th 2020. As Emma is born 12 march 2008, she was just 12 years, and not 6 as you mentioned. Please realise Emma has due to her illness a growth disorder as well. So she looks tiny. When she performs she usual is wearing high heel shoes. This song from Claudia de Breij is well known in the Netherlands. Claudia is a great artist ( singer and comedian )
Wow I didn't know that this beautiful song by Claudia was performed by the Kok family. When I hear this song from Claudia herself I always get emotional, it is so beautiful, I will include the original with English subtitles because the lyrics make this song extra beautiful🥰 Listen for yourself 😁 ruclips.net/video/Ck4NIu8iWbw/видео.html ❤
@@coffeereaction certainly very beautiful, it's the only song I listen to from her, she's a cabaret artist which isn't my thing . She did sing some beautiful covers at the Beste Zangers 2022, but I don't know why she doesn't touch me, except with this song.🤭❤
Hi, Emma is already 12 here. Unfortunately, she is growing slower due to her diet. I have the recording of Enzo Kok on Superkids from 2015. Emma sitting here in the audience looks like she's 3 years old, but she's already 7 years old. To enjoy - Enzo is great. What Emma does with her singing, Enzo does with the violin. Violist Enzo maakt er een show van - SUPERKIDS - ruclips.net/video/BJpLVIC2Bwo/видео.html Enzo speelt Schindler's List - SUPERKIDS - ruclips.net/video/CCCEh-agQGs/видео.html Enzo bezorgt Johnny kippenvel - SUPERKIDS - ruclips.net/video/R0v2Tbpt_qk/видео.html Then two more sweets for your coffee (From Emma's special RUclips page: Emma Kok Spotlight): Emma Kok and Sophie Kok singing Vincent (Starry Starry Night) - Sister Duet - Don McLean ruclips.net/video/OextyXXBvAc/видео.html @EmmaKokOfficial singing L.O.V.E - Frank Sinatra (Look at the violin in the display case.) ruclips.net/video/4YKgSVyUWe0/видео.html @EmmaKokOfficial singing Sway - Michael Bublé ruclips.net/video/Dl3YYfUZHJo/видео.html I know it's crazy, but Emma is just awesome.
Emma is very short due to her illness. Even today she is 16, but is the height of the average 7 or 8 year old. She is small. But she has a mighty voice.
Hi, remember January 4th, 2025, when Emma goes to a concert with Disney. On Saturday 25.8. Sneak peaks come from rehearsals. A foretaste from Emma's Kanal: Part Of You’re World 🐚 - @halle - ruclips.net/video/itxs-aNyRJY/видео.html It's going to be good.
To answe your comment, this concert happened in 2020, so Emma was 12 at that stage, and the huge growth delay she suffered as a result of gastroparesis is very evident here, Emma was TINY at this stage, it's only very recently that she has caught up a bit, and is not as tiny, but don't be deceived, most of the time on Andre's stage, which is where we most often see her, she's wearing up to 12.5 cm platform shoes, but even now, she's only 1 Mtr 50, and still very slight, around 50 Kg, and her stamina is still hugely affected by this, she doesn't have good energy reserves. Sophie is older, and as you heard, a good classical singer, but for now, she's following a course in Law, while Enzo is very much making a significant name for himself as a violinist, having been massively encouraged a few years ago by Andre Rieu. There is another name to be aware of, on the piano is Rob Mennen, and he is close to the Kok family, and there are a number of recordings by Emma where he has accompanied her, the most recent being a studio performance of her version of 'Hallelujah', Emma absolutely gave a performance of incredible power ruclips.net/video/ma01DXvF5Vk/видео.html Around the same time, but recorded at home, no audience, much softer, a beautiful version ruclips.net/video/CS4ZCwjpkbw/видео.html Another song with Rob, no audience or fancy sound system, a song in Dutch, which she also sang in Voice Kids, Door de wind, ruclips.net/video/VBu8g6KSz-A/видео.html There is a longer version of this concert that has a number of songs and pieces that involve the Kok Family, it's clear they are multi talented, Emma is competent on violin and keyboard, though now she is very much focussed on her incredible talent as a singer, and on top of that, she's fluent in 3 languages, Dutch, German and English, and rare for Dutch speakers, her English is very clear without accent, which is unusual. The full concert is long, but worth watching, it's way too long for a reaction, ruclips.net/video/LBLloP4bQLE/видео.html Interesting to me is that in this long version, Enzo introduces a pipe band and there is a very complex segment, with a number of key changes to accommodate the singers and the pipes, and Emma copes very well with it, despite her young years, it's clear she's very comfortable with this complexity, and at home with performing, and of course now, working with Andre and his orchestra, she's working with the best, and it's helped her I have been wondering for a while how long Andre Rieu has been aware of Emma, given that Enzo appeared on his stage some time ago, and Rob Mennen has known her for some time, and is very friendly with another serious player with Andre, Frank Steijns, who has also played piano as accompaniment for Emma, when she sang at a concert in August 2022, 12 months before her debut on Andre's stage This is Emma's first single, Laat mij een vlinder zijn, let me be a butterfly, ruclips.net/video/qEz4We6hsnw/видео.html It's very evident from the end that they are good friends, and there have been a number of TV interviews where both Emma and Frank have been with Andre for those interviews. The bottom line is that now, with everything that has happened over the last year, Emma's status has hugely risen, and not to put too fine a point on it, she now truly is 'Dancing on the stars', there's no longer any doubt in my mind that she has estabilished herself in a very strong niche, her gastroparesis means that however much she might want to do longer concerts, her stamina will get in the way, so singing as she is with Andre and his orchestra is a very good place for her at the moment, she is getting huge exposure with the cream of the industry, and has shown that she is more than capable of providing a totally competent and powerful delivery of any piece that Andre gives her to do. I am hoping that Andre and his management team are going to renew their arrangement that has Emma so close for the 2025 season, it's clearly working very well for both of them. As for Emma, I am going to close with my normal appeal to everyone reading or listening to this channel, Emma deserves and needs as much support as possible, her foundation, which she initially set up with the €25000 she received as the winner of Ministars in 2023, is working on their objective to help find better treatments, or even possibly a cure for this awful disease. Her foundation is almost unique in terms of the work they are doing. There's been very little research into what is a devastating illness, and at present there is no cure available, the effects on the sufferers are huge, there are many tragic reports of sufferers taking their own lives because they can't cope with the enforced discipline and massive restrictions the disease inflicts upon them, Emma's situation hasn't changed since that first appearance with Andre last July, she is still tied to her two external feeding pumps for 22 hours a day, very much like a boat anchor in size and weight, and I know from recent social media posts, she finds that incredibly hard to cope with at times, despite that she's loving the singing with Andre, which she regards as her therapy. She posted some heart breaking photos and comments from her holiday in Portugal, having to use her wheelchair after a time swimming, even then, at a time when the family were relaxing and enjoying a break away from their normal lives, Emma had no relief, no escape from the mental and physical pain of having to live with the numbing discipline of the 22 hours every day with the pumps attached to her, her ongoing lack of stamina that hugely limits and impacts on her life and desire to be free, and she never talks about the physical pain that so often is a side effect of the failure of her stomach to properly process the contents. Emma's foundation can be found at gastrostars.nl Please, if at all possible, join me in making a (regular) contribution to her foundation, to enable them to help patients like Emma, and research this awful disease that has affected her from birth, and still requires her to be tied to the pumps and feeding tubes for 22 hours a day, hopefully, the work of her foundation will find a cure. Please also be very careful if you post or respond to anything from Emma on social media, her increased visibility has resulted in significant numbers of bad actors creating fake accounts, and looking for money to fund 'special operations', or the like, the ONLY valid web site that supports Emma and others like her is the gastrostars site, anything else is fake and fraudulent, and beneath contempt, please report them. One of the main people in Gastrostars is a surgeon who has a lot of experience in treating gastroparesis, and she is not only a surgeon, but also suffers from the same disease herself, to the extent that as a result of her condition worsening, she's had to leave her role in the hospital, and she is now dedicated to the foundation, and working to help find possible new treatments, or even better the cure that will free people like Emma to live a more normal life, rather than be tied to the feeding pumps for so many hours every day. It will be so good if the work of Emma's foundation can lead to a better treatment, or even a cure, which will free her to do more singing, and it may be people here who make that possible. ,

Hi, remember January 4th, 2025, when Emma goes to a concert with Disney. On Saturday 25.8. Sneak peaks come from rehearsals. A foretaste from Emma's Kanal:
Part Of You’re World 🐚 - @halle - ruclips.net/video/itxs-aNyRJY/видео.html
It's going to be good.

There is a longer version of this concert that has a number of songs and pieces that involve the Kok Family, it's clear they are multi talented, Emma is competent on violin and keyboard, though now she is very much focussed on her incredible talent as a singer, and on top of that, she's fluent in 3 languages, Dutch, German and English, and rare for Dutch speakers, her English is very clear without accent, which is unusual.

I have been wondering for a while how long Andre Rieu has been aware of Emma, given that Enzo appeared on his stage some time ago, and Rob Mennen has known her for some time, and is very friendly with another serious player with Andre, Frank Steijns, who has also played piano as accompaniment for Emma, when she sang at a concert in August 2022, 12 months before her debut on Andre's stage
This is Emma's first single, Laat mij een vlinder zijn, let me be a butterfly,
