Ensembles from The Netherlands

The Netherlands has long been home to one of the most vibrant and independent ensemble cultures in the world, and Attacca has documented it from the inside. Ensembles from The Netherlands brings together the groups that have shaped the country's musical landscape: collectives that commission new work, rethink existing repertoire and approach performance as a shared creative act rather than a hierarchy. From adventurous new-music formations to groups that blur the line between composed and improvised music, this series captures the energy, ensemble spirit and sense of collective conviction that make the Dutch scene so distinctive.
