Catching Cultures Orchestra returns with its very own festival!
On 6 April, experience this Utrecht based orchestra, featuring musicians from all corners of the world. The traditions they bring with them are blended more innovatively than ever into a forward looking, intercultural programme. Arabic, Nigerian, Kurdish, Zimbabwean, Chinese, and Latin American pieces are reimagined in new arrangements, and this edition will once again present several original compositions in which traditions are more deeply intertwined than ever before.
