Siebold project (2019)
A cooperation between T.O.P. Orchestra and Nanagen String orchestra from Tokyo
n the past years, String Orchestra Nanagen from Tokyo gave concerts in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam three times. In March 2019, they return, this time for a collaboration with the T.O.P. Orchestra. Their visit will be answerd by a visit from the T.O.P. Orchestra to Tokyo in July of the same year. This establishes a unique artistic collaboration between cultures geographically far apart, a great learning opportunity for orchestra members, conductor, soloists and the two orchestras's boards. The project was led by conductor Kent Moussault.
Program:
Mozart: Sinfonia concertante for violin, viola and orchestra;
Mozart: Symphony no. 29;
Grieg: Holberg suite;
Melle Heij: Die Verhüllung, comission based on music from the famous German-Dutch Japan expert Philipp von Siebold.
