New European Ensemble & The Hague Vocal Ensemble – 100 jaar Ton de Leeuw
New European Ensemble & The Hague Vocal Ensemble – 100 jaar Ton de Leeuw
During the Gaudeamus Festival this year, we will commemorate the 100th birth year of Ton de Leeuw, the influential Dutch composer and music educator, on two occasions. He was a pioneer in the 1950s and 1960s, with his interests lying in electronic and non-Western music. On opening night, the New European Ensemble and The Hague Vocal Ensemble, under the direction of Angeliki Ploka, will present a programme centering on De Leeuw’s concept of music as a ritual act.
