The 2011 Holland Festival showcased the wealth and freedom of art from all over the world in both form and substance, from Lithuanian composer Justė Janulytė to the China Northern Kunqu opera Theatre. There was a homage to controversial theatre and film maker Christoph Schlingensief, whose last work before his passing, Mea Culpa, a reflection on his illness, opened the festival. The festival devoted lots of attention to Iannis Xenakis with four concerts and the exhibition Iannis Xenakis: Composer, Architect, Visionary, about the relationship between his architecture and music.

Context

Welcome!

Welcome to the Holland Festival archive! The history of our festival dates back to 1947. Through the programs of each festival edition we aim to tell this history here. Sadly some information is only available in Dutch but we aim to be as bilingual as possible. For additions or tips send an email to [email protected].
