Biography
Orkest de Ereprijs performs works by living composers, as well as interdisciplinary projects by a diverse group of creators in genres such as dance, theatre and film. We commission young composers with professional pieces for our orchestra and perform these in The Netherlands and internationally, in order to support young talent. So far, we have commissioned over four hundred compositions. Our assignments and concerts are often multidisciplinary, involving singers, instrumentalists, electronic art, dance, theatre and film.
Our orchestra is the ensemble for contemporary music in the East of the Netherlands. We collaborate with many partners and take our place as a living instrument focusing on interdisciplinarity, education, talent development and innovation. Through this perspective, we have gained a unique and renowned position within young composed music world-wide. We reach a broad and diverse audience: young and old, connoisseurs and professionals, insiders and outsiders.
Gregory Charette has been conductor at De Ereprijs since 2021. Among other projects, he conducts the annual Young Composers Meeting, the yearly Andriessen Festival, re-Generation concert series and education projects with ArtEZ, University of the Arts.
Gregory is deeply committed to the performance and promotion of new music. In addition to his work with De Ereprijs, he is a regular guest conductor with ASKO | Schönberg and Collegium Novum Zürich, among other ensembles.
