For 80 years the Netherlands Chamber Choir has ranked amongst the best choirs in the world. Their two performances at the 2020 New Zealand Festival in Wellington were musical highlights. Netherlands-born Peter Dijkstra is one of today’s most sought-after choral conductors. He studied choral conducting, orchestral conducting and voice at the conservatories of The Hague, Cologne and Stockholm. In 2003 he won first prize at the Eric Ericson Competition in Stockholm, which launched his international career.
