Tonight concerts of the 40th Orlando Festival in Kerkrade.
Unfortunately, it is also the last one: the oldest chamber music festival in the Netherlands is calling it quits. Two years ago, the province of Limburg already announced it would stop its subsidies, and now the time has come. The Concertzender takes you to a series of recordings of the ‘last time’. Tonight the first episode.
