Ciconia Consort & Dick van Gasteren

Ciconia Consort is led by Dick van Gasteren. The professional orchestra, which celebrated its 10th anniversary last year, is an international company of young top musicians and regularly searches for unknown masterpieces and often performs them on Dutch concert stages for the first time. Ciconia Consort receives national and international recognition through special thematic concerts at a high artistic level. Klassieke Zaken wrote about Ciconia: 'a dazzling ensemble, taken care of down to the last detail. Musicweb-international wrote: 'impressive unity and full string tone'. The ensemble has since released four internationally acclaimed CDs that are regularly heard on international radio stations such as ABC Classic (Australia), the German SWR2 and the British BBC. The orchestra can regularly be heard on Radio 4 in programs such as Avondconcert, Vrije Geluiden, Muziekfabriek, Diskotafel and Muziekwijzer. In the spring of 2021, live television recording was provided by NTR with the program De weg naar Hollywood , which was broadcast several times on NPO2 Extra.
