New European Ensemble in the Nieuwe Kerk
Join us on an adventure of new music as only New European Ensemble brings!
The New European Ensemble (NEuE) tells stories, through the communicative power of new music. Stories that aim to reflect, challenge, inspire and deepen our understanding of human experience and our environment.
The group often combines music with film, literature, theatre, dance and visual art. The ensemble has collaborated with Edward Snowden, Boris van der Ham, Nick Verstand, DeFrame, Opera2Day, Het Nationale Theater (Netherlands National Theatre), Amnesty International, The International Criminal Court and War Child.
NEuE was founded in 2009 in the Netherlands by dedicated and passionate musicians from across Europe. The ensemble has built a reputation for imaginative programming as well as ‘fantastic’ (NRC) and ‘excellent performances’ (de Volkskrant) and has been called one of the ‘Netherland’s leading ensembles’ (Nieuwe Noten). In 2019, the NEuE was awarded the prestigious Kersjesprijs recognising ‘10 years of achievement at the highest level presenting contemporary music to a wide audience in a gripping and accessible way.’
