The festival’s uniquely personal and welcoming atmosphere sees audience members and musicians join together as one in a vi- brant exploration of new musical and artistic terrain. Each year, special guests and members of the international award winning Hague Baroque Orchestra “The New Dutch Academy” (conduc- tor Simon Murphy), explore a new, groundbreaking multidisci- plinary topic. The festival is sometimes controversial and always cutting edge. Some of the exciting discoveries presented at NDA festivals have fuelled NDA CDs which have subsequently gone on to win international recording industry awards, have launched NDA projects which have redefined music history and have created groundbreaking NDA concert programmes which have turned preconceived ideas on their head.
