New Year's concerts with The Residents


The Residentie Orkest is again organizing a series of New Year's concerts in cooperation with cultural anchors in The Hague. We were guests at the Hofstad Lyceum on January 14 and at Muzee Scheveningen on January 28.

"Last weekend we played with the brass quintet at the first New Year's Eve concert in one of The Hague's neighborhoods. It is so beautiful to see how the audience is touched by the children of The Residents, the choir but also by our own contribution. The nice thing about these concerts is that as a musician you are much closer to the audience, which allows for more interaction. We have four more concerts to go, with a different interpretation each time. I'm really looking forward to that!"
