The South Netherlands Philharmonic truly is an orchestra for everyone. The inspired musicians deliver tailor-made artistry at the highest level. Ranging from the grand, symphonic concerts in the concert halls with the beloved evergreens out of the classical canon, to innovative concert formulas in unexpected places. From ancient masterpieces to exhilarating world premières, from challenging crossovers to educational projects. Under the direction of its intendant Stefan Rosu, the South Netherlands Philharmonic is an organisation with a clear vision of renewal, an orchestra that continuous to push its borders
75 Years of Liberation: In 2020 the Netherlands celebrate 75 years of liberation. Before the rest of the country was liberated, the Southern Netherlands already regained their freedom in the autumn of 1944. For the South Netherlands Philharmonic, this is ample cause to make the Liberation its central narrative in all its programming, this season. No better programmes to start with than the spectacular Liberation Concert Margraten and the Liberation Concert Eindhoven, organised in collaboration with the September 18 Foundation. Chief-conductor Dmitry Liss conducts Mahler’s Second Symphony, ‘Resurrection’. A masterpiece that symbolises the reconstruction of a new life. During the whole concert season, the theme of Liberation can be discovered in all its little elements. Composers like Respighi, Ravel, and Britten all offer pacifist alternatives, and Samuel Barber in his Second Symphony and Richard Danielpour in his Elegies both give glimpses of direct or indirect involvement with the act of liberating. But also works by Henri Dutilleux, Henryk Gorecki, Felix Mendelssohn, Bohuslav Martinû, Antonin Dvorák, and Igor Stravinsky contribute to our celebration of 75 years of liberty in a myriad of musical ways.
