Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is a Hindu festival. The Residentie Orkest is proud to be a part of theDiwali-concert in the Nieuwe Kerk.
The Diwali-festival is celebrated in a big way in The Hague. After all, The Hague is the Hindustani capital of the country and on such a day of celebration, music obviously cannot be missing. General and artistic director Sven Arne Tepl: "The Hindustani community in The Hague is the largest on the continent.It is special that they have contacted us to work together. This is really about connection, meaning something to each other. Beautiful arrangements have been written for this evening. This is how music brings us even closer together. The Residentie Orkest has already participated several times in the The Hague Diwali concert.
As the days get colder and darker faster, music complements this by warming and illuminating. It brings us together at Amare or the Nieuwe Kerk. On Nov. 3, we played the Diwali-concert, a special concert with music as the connecting factor.
