Holland Festival 2023

10 June 2023

I was part of the setup for the Holland Festival 2023, marking its remarkable 76th edition.

This edition was celebrated for its expansive artistic vision and an impressively diverse and generous audience, more engaged with the festival than ever before. The festival commenced with the presence of Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrix and opened with the rapturously received performance Call for the Company by Simon McBurney. It concluded with the groundbreaking Requiem for Nature by Tan Dun, Pierre Audi, and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. The lineup in between showcased a vast array of art forms – from musicals, dance, music, music theatre, theater, exhibitions, to installations and various blends of these. Being a part of such an illustrious event was a testament to the magic and transformative power of arts and culture, and the importance of sound engineering in creating immersive experiences.

Culture & Music

FOH & monitors with attention to the score, the room, and the people on stage. I work out what the production needs technically while staying close to the musical story.

  • Analysis of acoustics, line-up, and dynamics
  • Careful integration of surround and soundscapes
  • Calm communication with artists and production

Corporate & Conference

A business production needs clarity, timing, and reliability. I organize the technical side, protect the agreements made, and help speakers feel heard.

  • Clear preparation and planning
  • IT and network expertise for Dante and hybrid events
  • Recordings ready for post-production

Events & Festivals

From tight changeovers to complex outdoor productions. I keep the overview, solve problems at the source, and stay focused on the result.

  • RF, Dante, and system checks worked out in advance
  • Quick switching without losing the bigger picture
  • Own toolkit and measurement equipment
