This book (available only in Dutch) tells the story of Emma Kok, a young singer from Limburg with an exceptional voice. She has lived with gastroparesis, a chronic condition affecting stomach motility, since birth: whilst this condition affects her daily life, it has never stopped her from pursuing her passion.

Starting in February 2026, Emma Kok toured 28 theaters throughout the Netherlands alongside guest artist Matheu Hinzen and her 17-piece orchestra. She is now wrapping up her successful and sold out 'Never Lose Hope' tour at the Open-Air Theater in Valkenburg. Expect an impressive pop-symphonic concert full of emotion, power, breathtaking vocals, extraordinary duets, and personal stories that will stay with you for a long time to come.

The entire concert in the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam is out now. You can stream it on Spotify and Apple Music.

During the festive premiere of her very first theater tour in Maastricht, Emma not only received a standing ovation, she was also presented with the Vrouw in the Media Award for the province of Limburg. She is praised as a female role model for how powerful and inspiring she is despite her illness, according to the votes.

Emma releases her first EP. Emma gave her first live concert at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam on October 21 and 22. Both shows sold out immediately. It was a fantastic evening, with Emma accompanied by the symphony orchestra The New Symphonics and the Marthas choir. She is now launching an EP with a number of her favorite songs.
