Art

Art is our first language. Throughout the year, Het HEM presents a range of temporary art programmes as well as more permanent art installations.

Music

There is always music to listen to at Het HEM, with programmes focused on experimental ways to create, present and experience music in the building through listening sessions, live shows, and musical artis-in-residence initiatives.

Come by for a drink and a bite, wine and dine at our restaurant Zanini or get a sandwich at Bakery Solinger. With good wether we suggest you settle down on our sunny terrace on the Costa del Zaano.

Books

Het HEM loves books. During your visit, come lose yourself in the library's rich selection or discover new favourites in the SANZ Shop.

Space Echo - Sonology

–
FREE

The Institute of Sonology at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague has a 50-year tradition of education, research and production in the fields of electroacoustic music, and computer music. The Institute of Sonology adopts a clear stance in terms of the use of technology in music: technology is not merely an adjunct to the existing music practice, but should be used primarily to explore new forms of composition and public presentation of music and art.

Performance by the Sonology Electroacoustic Ensemble conducted by Richard Barrett. Fixed media composition by Hilde Wollenstein based on field recordings. Piece for computer-controlled organ pipes in a spatial arrangement by Oscar Peters. Piece for clarinet and computer by Lucie Nezri with Hilde Wollenstein on clarinet.
