Queen summons threatened orchestra to Palace and state tour
mainQueen Beatrix of the Netherlands has invited one of her country’s endangered orchestras to play on her state visit next month to Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
The Radio Philharmonic Chamber orchestra will cease to exist in August 2013 if government cuts go through. The Queen is a strong supporter of classical music. Her invitation may be taken as a strong signal of royal displeasure. Read on here.
Wat een geweldig gebaar van de Koningin! Zou die regering nou niet eens een keer hun stupiditeit inzien voordat ze de cultuur in dit land naar de verdommenis helpen?
It’s about time someone is willing to speak up over the catastrophic effects these cuts have had on Music in Holland. Good for you HM Beatrix!
