Portraits of makers, composers and musicians in the Netherlands, based on their ‘desert island discs’ – the pieces of music they want the whole world to hear, and which play an important role in their work and lives. This episode composer: Kate Moore.
She is one of the composers-in-residence this year, 2025. On the national Day of the Composer, 21 June 2025, her work will be played at Central Station in Amsterdam. What kind of music did she grow up with? What inspires and motivates her? She’ll share this and more by means of a personal playlist in an interview with Aad van Nieuwkerk.
In addition to this podcast, there is also the radioprogramme Composers and Musicians, where we listen to the composers’ playlist, every Thursday at 12:00.
