On January 24, Vincent van Amsterdam became the first accordionist to win the Dutch Music Prize, the highest Dutch classical music award. According to the committee, "He enchants his listeners with his unique musical vision, characteristic playing style and unprecedented virtuosity. With a rare concentration and inviting stage presence, he manages to captivate his listeners time and again.

With the exception of the duo TOEAC and a few family performances, the accordion has rarely been heard in Oranjewoud, and that while so many timbres and expressive possibilities lie behind the instrument. With the accordion, Vincent van Amsterdam opens up this new world of beauty. In doing so, he surrenders himself completely to the music and becomes one with his instrument. Virtuosity serves expression, both in small and large gestures.
