New Notes, about this concert.<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n\n
\n A bull\u2019s-eye, this concert. The New European Ensemble once again shows that it has grown into one of the best ensembles in the Netherlands, and seeing Holliger conduct and perform is a gift in itself. It\u2019s also good that we get to hear some of this man\u2019s compositions \u2014 that happens far too rarely in the Netherlands. <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n

Carte Blanche for Heinz Holliger.
\nOne of the highlights of the year was the collaboration with the impressive and world-renowned 80-year-old composer, conductor, and oboist Heinz Holliger, with concerts in Utrecht, Arnhem, and The Hague. Holliger conducted his own works and both conducted and performed as a soloist in pieces by important composer friends, including Gy\u00f6rgy Ligeti, Witold Lutos\u0142awski, and Elliott Carter. Working with Holliger was a learning experience for the ensemble. His vast knowledge of 20th-century music, instrumental technique, and his impeccable ear provided new insights and experiences for both the musicians and the audience.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n\n <\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n \n<\/section>\n\n\n
