Cappella Amsterdam
Cappella Amsterdam (the Netherlands) is a professional
chamber choir, founded in 1970. Over the past years the
ensemble, under the direction of Daniel Reuss, has taken a
prominent position in the fields of both early music and
the modern and contemporary repertoire. The group aims to
involve a wide audience in choral music, in particular
works by old and new composers from the Netherlands, and
has initiated projects around the work of Dutch masters
such as Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck and Orlando di Lasso.
Cappella Amsterdam often participates in opera-productions,
such as Thyeste of Jan van Vlijmen, premiered at La Monnaie
in Brussels; Rameau's Les Indes Galantes (co-operation with
the Orchestra of the Eighteen Century and Frans Brüggen),
Jan van de Putte's Wet Snow in the Holland Festival 2004
and Tan Dun's Marco Polo (co-operation with the Holland
Festival and the Dutch National Opera).
