Netherlands Radio Choir
Chief conductor: Gijs Leenaars
Permanent guest conductor: Michael Gläser

Conductor and composer Merlijn Twaalfhoven: 'A breath of time'.

The Netherlands Radio Choir is composed of professionally trained singers with a repertoire from the Renaissance to the present. This versatility is directly related to the choir's role as a broadcasting ensemble and as a partnery of the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra. Their mission is to perform, alongside the 'iron repertoire', music that is not heard anywhere else, has not been discovered, is in danger of being forgotten or was recently composed. The programmes for the public broadcasting series NTR Saturday Matinee, Vredenburg Friday and the Concertgebouw's Sunday Morning Concert series, in which the Netherlands Radio Choir frequently performs, are living proof. The choir is also a regular participant in special productions of the Holland Festival and in ground-breaking concerts of public broadcaster NTR in Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ; several times each season the choir works with other orchestras, including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and the Berliner Philharmoniker.
