Last weekend, saturday the 18th of october until monday the 20th of october, cultural house Garenspinnerij has been taken over by the television crews of RTL 4. They are there to records the television show ‘Het Orkest van Nederland’. 150 auditions and their preparations will be recorded in three long recording days. This means that many famous Dutch people will visit Gouda for their role as presentator (Martijn Krabbé and Dominic Seldis, famous bassist and member of the Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest) of as judge (violinist Simone Lamsma, conductor Jan Willem de Vriend, Dutch famous pianist Wibi Sourjadi, and our own Goudse opera singer Tania Kross and dj/producer Ronald Molendijk. The building Garenspinnerij is specially selected because the producers of the television show think that this building is the perfect decor for the show. The building will be extensively on record. Musicians will be recorded throughout the whole building, with the beautifully rebuilded interior as background. Additional advantage is that the producers can make use of the facilities of Kunstpuntgouda, just like the many musicians.
Kunstpuntgouda is proud to be chosen by RTL for the television show. RTL has chosen to record all of the auditions at once in Gouda; they will be broadcasted at the 7th and 14th of decembre from 20.30-22.00.
