    Overview

    Joey Roukens has emerged as one of finest young composers on the Dutch music scene. His works are examples of different genres of music coexisting in a natural way whether it be new or old styles, high culture or popular culture, western or non-western music.

    In this hour-long concert we hear a new work from Roukens co-commissioned by Britten Sinfonia and Wigmore Hall alongside music by Lou Harrison and Shostakovich.
