Arturo den Hartog + Djuwa Mroivili - A History of Female Black Composers

About Arturo den Hartog

The Surinamese-Dutch countertenor Arturo den Hartog won the audience award of the Princess Christina Competition in 2021. He manifests himself as a champion of the work of underrated composers. He has successfully promoted the music of composers such as the Surinamese Majoie Hajary and Errollyn Wallen, the first woman of color whose work was performed during the Last Night of the Proms. Wallen wrote no fewer than twenty-two operas and her works are performed and broadcast all over the world, but rarely in the Netherlands. This also applies to the music of her predecessors. Den Hartog changes this and thus wins the hearts of the audience.
