The Dutch Student Orchestra (NSO) consists of the best student musicians from the Netherlands. This year they’ll perform beautiful works by Prokofiev and Shostakovich, and a special work, created by Hawar Tawfiq. With conductor Arjan Tien and top violinist Maria Milstein, this concert promises to be an unforgettable experience!

More information about the concert:
Violinist of world-class Maria Milstein plays the lyrical and dreamy First Violin Concerto by Prokofiev. The Russian-Dutch Maria Milstein has won two Edison’s and is a soloist at renowned orchestras worldwide. Experience the fairytale and mysterious atmosphere of the violin concerto. Shostakovich himself called ‘The Leningrad’, the 'Requiem for the victims of the Stalin regime'. Shostakovich symbolizes in this piece the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the terror of Stalin and the courageous resistance of the inhabitants of Leningrad besieged by the Germans. This symphony, perhaps the most important of the twentieth century, is performed by the 67th edition of the Dutch Student Orchestra, consisting of about 100 ambitious students from all over the Netherlands.
