With The Song Project, the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra has given a stage to young composers and singers with existing and brand new music every season since 2023. This year, five composers of the Conservatory of Amsterdam are paired with five singers of the National Opera Studio. The theme is an English song repertoire, with songs by Holst, Bridge, Delius, Smyth and White. The result of this collaboration with the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra will pleasantly surprise you.
