William Knight / Maxim Shalygin / Rudolf Escher

A rich tradition of commissioned compositions for the Netherlands Chamber Choir.

In the nearly 90-year existence of the Netherlands Chamber Choir, many compositions by great contemporary composers have been written especially for the choir. We are adding these works to the choir repertoire of the future. During Legacy for the Future, we will sing an anthology from this. A very diverse evening with something for everyone!
