In 2025, Oranjewoud Festival launched the participation programme Atlas4All, focused on cultural diversity at the local level. Through a wide range of individual projects, local communities were invited to respond to the question: “Where are your roots?”.
In 2026, this project will continue under the name Oranjewoud4All. This follow-up is smaller in scale and involves four master’s students from the New Audiences Innovative Practice (NAIP) programme at the Prins Claus Conservatory: Robyn Marshall, Luz Mercedes, Tsvetina Vacheva and Elise Naufel de Toledo. This study programme explores what it means to be a professional musician in a rapidly changing society.
Together, the students are organizing four community-based projects addressing social themes such as sexual orientation, cultural background and loneliness. The aim of Oranjewoud4All is twofold: to make the festival more accessible to communities that experience barriers to participation, and to provide practical experience for NAIP students.
Oranjewoud4All is guided by Head of Participation Marieke Jissink and NAIP programme leader and composer Nicholas Robinson.
