Antony Hermus, guest conductor and longtime friend of the Residentie Orkest, returns to The Hague for a spectacular programme that pushes the boundaries of the symphonic repertoire. The afternoon will kick off with Short Ride in a Fast Machine by John Adams - a thrilling, breathtaking ride in a fast sports car, where brass and percussion ramp up the speed and excitement. Next up is Willem Jeths's brand-new Piano Concerto, composed for the Residentie Orkest and pianist Ellen Corver. With this work, Jeths once again proves why he is considered the godfather of Dutch composers.

Bram Kortekaas wrote L'Élue (The Chosen One), a prelude to Stravinsky's Le Sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring)  exploring the inner world of a young woman at the centre of a pagan spring ritual. The concert culminates in Stravinsky's revolutionary masterpiece itself - Le Sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring), bringing to life a tale of spring, sacrifice and ecstasy in an overwhelming soundscape. This is music you simply have to experience live at least once in your life!
