Residentie Orkest The Hague
The Residentie Orkest Den Haag, known in English as the Hague Philharmonic, is one of the most prominent orchestras in the musically rich Netherlands. Since the 1970s, the orchestra has enjoyed the leadership of an unusually distinguished and varied roster of conductors.
The Residentie Orkest Den Haag (in Dutch Het Residentie Orkest, or the Residence Orchestra) took its name from the fact that the city of Den Haag, or The Hague, is the residence, or seat, of the Dutch government, although Amsterdam is the country's capital. The orchestra was formed in 1904 and grew rapidly in renown; by 1911, Richard Strauss was conducting the group during a festival devoted to his music. Other noted composers who conducted the Residentie Orkest were Ravel, Hindemith, Reger, and Stravinsky. Its longtime conductor in the postwar years was Willem van Otterloo. The orchestra maintained its schedule through World War II, but its life was disrupted when its hall, the Gebouw voor Kunsten en Wetenschappe, burned to the ground. It was finally replaced in 1987 by the Philipszaal, named for major donor Anton Philips of the Philips record label. In 1998, the orchestra, under the baton of George Pehlivanian, released an album of music by Sergei Zhukov on the Chandos label. In addition to a concert season in The Hague, the orchestra has toured abroad; it made the first of several appearances at the BBC Proms in London in 2008.
Since the 1970s, the orchestra has opened itself to foreign conductors, including Jean Martinon (1974-1976), Evgeny Svetlanov (1993-2000), and Nicholas Collon (2018-2021); another important conductor was Jaap van Zweden (2000-2005), who went on to lead the Dallas Symphony and New York Philharmonic Orchestras in the U.S. In 2021, Anja Bihlmaier became chief conductor; she was only the second chief conductor of any Dutch orchestra. In the 2010s, the orchestra struggled with budget cuts from the city of The Hague but managed to release notable recordings, including several of music by Philip Glass on that composer's Orange Mountain Music label. In 2017, the group released an album featuring Glass' Life: A Journey Through Time. The orchestra moved to the Challenge Classics label in 2018, releasing the first in a series of Schubert's complete symphonies with Jan Willem de Vriend as conductor. The Residentie Orkest also backed popular vocalist Philippe Elan on the 2019 album Ma France: Chansons Symphoniques and returned in 2022 under the baton of Jun Märkl with the album Saint-Saëns: Dances and Ballet Music. By that time, the orchestra's catalog included more than 15 recordings.
