ELISABETH HETHERINGTON WINS NEDERLANDSE MUZIEKPRIJS
Elisabeth Hetherington has been announced as the winner of the Nederlandse Muziekprijs (Dutch Music Award). It is the most prestigious award for a musician working in classical music and is bestowed by the Performing Arts Fund NL on behalf of the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. Minister Eppo Bruins shall present the award on Friday 4 October 2024 at the De Doelen concert hall in Rotterdam.
The committee is impressed by Elisabeth Hetherington’s tonal dexterity when singing. “With seemingly effortless suppleness and clarity, she transverses a wide-ranging repertoire of renaissance, baroque, to newly composed music. Elisabeth Hetherington goes from intimate to temperamental, from serene to dynamic, with an astounding naturalness. This musical playfulness surprises the listener, makes her performances captivating and refreshing, and repeatedly casts the music in a new light.”
Elisabeth's passion for multidisciplinary performance, rooted in her background as a modern dancer, has led to collaborations with composers and choreographers, resulting in innovative works that blend physicality and musicality.

Combining more and lesser known work, she moves effortlessly between 17th and 21st century music. After the concert, she will be awarded the prize by Minister Eppo Bruins.
