The second Toonzetters event will take place on 29 and 30 August. The aim of Toonzetters is to show how much talent and variation the Netherlands has on offer in contemporary composed music.
Toonzetters will put the spotlight on the best Dutch works of 2008 once again, both for a wider audience and for schedulers both at home and abroad. These works will be performed by a number of leading orchestras, ensembles and musicians. On the last evening, Sunday 30 August, the jury will announce which composer has won the € 10.000 Buma Toonzetters Award for 2008.
10 nominees
The 10 selected works will be performed at a free concert. They are by the composers Peter Adriaansz, Wilbert Bulsink, Einar Torfi Einarsson, Rozalie Hirs, Hanna Kulenty, Roderik de Man, Martijn Padding, Robin de Raaff, Edward Top and Klas Torstensson.
