Notes, Beats & Bars is an initiative created in collaboration between the Residentie Orkest and the Hague HipHop Center (H3C). This year was already the fourth edition. The collaboration between the Residentie Orkest and H3C has led to unique crossovers between classical music and hip-hop, which appeals to a wide audience and gives a new dimension to both art forms.

The project also focuses on connecting young people with different backgrounds through art and culture, with a special focus on hip-hop and urban culture. To this end, this year we are collaborating with 'Stichting 2 Gather' in order to offer young people who would otherwise not come into contact with art and culture the opportunity to participate and develop creatively through this project.

Workshop teachers in this video include Peter Oostinga (beats), Sarah Lavinia Feenstra (percussion), U-Shine (spoken word), D.Chesron (Arjan de Boer) (rap), Arne Visser (producer NBB & workshop trombone).

The images of the Liberation Festival were made by W2AF? Visuals on behalf of the Hague Hiphop Center.
