New Year’s Concert 2020
The Nederlands Blazers Ensemble’s New Year’s Concerts have become as inextricably linked to New Year’s Day as ski-jumping and the Viennese waltz. A surprising musical party, with unexpected guests, special stories and new compositions from young composers.
“I can’t think of many other concerts in which classical, light music and modern idioms of pop, rock and blues go so hand-in hand.[…] Aside from the musical fireworks, the spectacle is also deeply impressive. […] This is good theatre, good music, and above all- good natured and with great performers.”
– Dan Adams, The Light Music Society
“A happy musical party that also offers beauty and consolation.”
Het Parool
“A successful combination of multiple music styles and a current theme, almost like a programmatic symphony.”
