De Ereprijs Xtra: Music of today and tomorrow


Orkest De Ereprijs and guests play together: music of today and tomorrow

De Ereprijs Xtra is the orchestra of the 21st century. In it, Orkest De Ereprijs joins forces to form a symphonic line-up of over thirty musicians with Phion, NJO and changing partners. The rich sound palette of this contemporary performance apparatus offers unprecedented possibilities for contemporary music. Meanwhile, a large number of composers wrote especially for this instrumentation, including: Ed Bennett, Ted Hearne, Trevor Grahl, Dolf de Kinkelder, Martijn Padding, Christiaan Richter, Giuliano Bracci, Livia Malossi, Yannis Kyriakides and Alisson Kruusmaa. In addition, every year two students from the Composition for Film and Theater Department of ArtEZ arrange a number of their own works for De Ereprijs Xtra. The orchestra has already been conducted by Clark Rundell, Manoj Kamps and Jurjen Hempel. In 2024, De Ereprijs Xtra was conducted by Gregory Charette.
