‘Hoe klinkt de nieuwe gemeente Eemdelta? Die vraag staat centraal in de zoektocht van Manon Luchies en Jurgen van Tolie, de ‘cultuurgastjes’ van Stichting IVAK, en het Noord Nederlands Orkest (NNO) naar ‘het geluid van Eemsdelta’. Om dit geluid vervolgens te verwerken in een muziekstuk.’ lees meer (bron: DVHN)
