Millennium of Music
January-February 2011
Spotlight on the Netherlands
We continue our long and fruitful association with our partners at Radio Netherlands in presenting a series of concerts from the 2010 Holland Festival of Early Music at Utrecht. We will also direct listeners to their website, which will provide more in-depth information about the music and performers we hear as well as more information about the festival (www.rnwclassical.com).
