‘Jorden i mig’ is a production with five brand new pieces written for HAV.

At the very first Orlando Festival concert, the two central composers, Rudolf Escher and Ludwig Beethoven, are honored with two representative works that they composed in their 33rd year of life. Eleven and nine works by Beethoven and Escher can be heard at Orlando respectively, these composers are featured almost daily.

Flutist Ingrid Geerlings plays Rudolf Escher's virtuoso and lyrical solo sonata at the Orlando Festival.

Three intimate monuments to Bach, Escher and Beethoven At this varied concert, three renowned Orlando musicians play three monumental compositions from three centuries of chamber music.

However much the composers Escher and Brahms differ, they have in common that they were extremely critical of their own work. For example, Escher withdrew many of his works, even if they had already been published, because on closer inspection they did not meet his standards.

After having played Rudolf Escher's solo sonata for cello earlier in the festival, Gideon den Herder is now working with Elena Nemtsova on his sonata for cello and piano.

His very last chamber music work by central composer Escher is played in a combination of three very different instruments, previously used by Mozart and Schumann.

The program of the Tampering Ry festival in Tampere (Finland) consists of compositions more or less reflecting on the recent world events.  The festival, 17-20 augustus has selected five chamber works by Wilma Pistorius, which will be programmed in different concerts of the festival.

Van Escher's best-known work, his homage to Ravel, is performed in Orlando Festival in a special sound atmosphere with winds, strings and harpsichord.

Also at the penultimate performance of the Osiris Trio, this unsurpassed ensemble draws attention to new music composed especially for them. The American composer Ron Ford, a former student of Louis Andriessen and living in the Netherlands since 1983, wrote 12 short contrasting movements for them.

Music can express things that cannot be talked about. That is why it is such a powerful tool for resistance. And like music, resistance comes in different forms. It manifests itself differently in everyone. Some take action, others keep up appearances, but behind the scenes resist the injustice done to them.
