Slings/Kerkhof Kur Composers Online
The
crew behind Anky van Grunsven's Kur To Music successes
are Slings/Kerkhof. This Dutch company composes custom
made soundtracks for all of Anky's horses. Their partnership
began in 1996 when Slings/Kerkhof created "Bonfire's
Symphony". With this theme the combination became Dutch
Dressage Champion in that year and won two Silver Olympic
Medals in Atlanta. One year later the incredibly popular
soundtrack made Anky win the Volvo World Cup Final in
April 1997.
The demo stadium of Bonfire's
symphony took 34 (studio)days of work, spread over a
period of three months and the kur was filmed at least
ten times. The Slings/Kerkhof
duo also composed the James Bond Kur for Anky's Trakehner
stallion TCN Partout. Partout is a graceful mover and
the music gives him even more charisma.
Slings and Kerkhof are now working
on Anky's kur for the 2000 Olympic Games. Visit their
