The Netherlands Chamber Choir, known in Dutch as Nederlands Kamerkoor, stands prominently as one of Europe's foremost chamber choirs, renowned for their versatile and expressive performances that span a wide range of genres and historical periods. Since its foundation in 1937, the choir has established a distinguished reputation, delighting audiences with their renditions of both sacred and secular works, and demonstrating a remarkable capability for contemporary classical music alongside traditional choral repertoire.
The choir's discography is a testament to their breadth and depth, with recent releases such as "Van Gogh in Me" and "Escher: Orchestral, Chamber and Choral Music" showcasing their dedication to exploring thematic programs linked to art and culture. In "Auerbach: 72 Angels," they venture into the avant-garde, bringing to life Lera Auerbach's modern spiritual compositions, while "Röntgen: Orchestral, Choral & Chamber Music" reaffirms their commitment to illuminating less frequently performed masterpieces. The choir's exploration of sacred music is further exemplified by albums like "Missa Unitatis" and "Sacred & Secular Music," which present a careful juxtaposition of the holy and the profane. Their versatility is also evident in collaborations such as "Cave of Forgotten Dreams (Music for a Film by Werner Herzog)," demonstrating the choir's capability to transcend traditional concert formats and engage with multimedia art forms. With their innovative programming and immaculate performances, the Netherlands Chamber Choir continues to be a leading force in choral music, both in the Netherlands and internationally.
