Repertoire
Oorkaan aims to enrich as many small and large ears as possible with the infinite world of music.
Oorkaan talks about 'global classical music'. The Council for Culture on this ambition: 'The Council appreciates the strong motivation expressed in the plan to program broadly and to abandon the traditional classification of musical genres. The term 'global classical music' does justice to a more inclusive canon, appropriate to contemporary society.'
This page lists the music that can be heard in the productions with the Oorkaan Ensemble.
