thu 25 sep 2025 12:00 hrs
Composer, musician and curator Bart de Vrees opened the Gaudeamus Festival on September 10th 2025 with his speech ‘The State of Dutch New Music’. In his speech, he addressed the challenge of reclaiming free space as a composer and creator, both personally and artistically. Bart was trained as a percussionist, but over time he increasingly focused on electronics, and in particular on what he calls ‘doodling’. During this hour, you’ll hear some of the ‘desert island discs’ he has chosen.
