New series in our program Documento: ‘Forgotten Treasures from Europe’On Sunday, Nov. 20, 2011 a new series was launched in our program Documento: ‘Forgotten Treasures from Europe’. This will be broadcast every Sunday from 03.00 to 04.00 pm CET. In 20 episodes we feature unknown or obscure music by known and unfamiliar composers from the baroque and classical period. The series is the brain child of our new program maker, Hieke van Hoogdalem. ‘Forgotten Treasures from Europe’ features composers per region or country. A region will usually be the focus of several episodes. The first 3 episodes feature Holland. With Dutch composers, or composers who came to Holland to work or to have their works published. In the 3rd episode on Dec. 4 we spotlight 5 foreign composers who were attached to the royal court in 18th century The Hague.
In subsequent episodes we will travel to:
Special Christmas Hieke will also briefly step into the 20th century through several exquisite Christmas songs. These seamlessly fit into the atmosphere of early music. For Hieke this particular episode is extra festive: “It is my 30th birthday on that day. Of course I am making this program for Christmas, but it also feels like a birthday gift to myself. And of course it is always fun to make a radio program with special music for a special moment in the year.” More information? » listen to episode 1 featuring music by Hellendaal and Van Wassenaer

Concertzender moved to Utrecht due to collaboration with Vredenburg and ConclusionAt the end of October Concertzender moved to Utrecht because we have recently joined forces with Music centre Vredenburg and service provider Conclusion.
Music centre Vredenburg has made the Concertzender a permanent media partner. This entails that we can record and broadcast their concerts live. Concertzender will thus be more intensely focussed on the programming of the Vredenburg. Of course we will also continue to make concert recordings as usual at other locations. » read more about this collaborative effort
