Orkest De Ereprijs

orkest de ereprijs is a Dutch 15-piece contemporary ensemble based in Apeldoorn and directed by conductor Wim Boerman. As one of the leading groups for new music in the eastern Netherlands, De Ereprijs is often commissioned to perform and premiere original compositions. Musicians are taking on projects in a wide range of genres, from classical chamber works to pop songs and experimental soundscapes, thanks to an expandable and versatile line-up with invited soloists, additional instrumentalists and vocalists, as well as electronic sound manipulation. Orkest De Ereprijs had been participating in numerous interdisciplinary projects, combining music with dance, sculpture, cinema, theatre and architecture.
