Composers and Musicians of the Netherlands

Maarten Ornstein’s Playlist

This episode features a selection

of music by reed player and composer Maarten Ornstein, who appears in two episodes of the podcast version of Muziekmakers der Nederlanden (Composers and Musicians of the Netherlands). The first episode was released on Monday 5 October 2026, while the second will follow at a later date. In the podcast, Maarten discusses not only his favourite music, but also his own work, composing, performing, collaborations and ideas.

Tell it to the Sky is a special project combining music by Maarten Ornstein with texts by poets from Gaza. In this programme, we’ll hear texts by Mohammed Moussa and Hala Salah, performed by (pictured) baritone Mattijs van de Woerd, cellist Nuala McKenna and pianist Antonii Baryshevskyi.
