New Dutch Academy

Founded by conductor and violist Simon Murphy, The New Dutch Academy (NDA) is a group of 40 international young, highly engaged, specialist musicians from around the world who gather in The Hague to explore and perform 18th century music in all its forms. Performing exclusively on authentic instruments, and appearing in its two forms – Chamber Soloists (4 to 12 musicians) and Chamber Orchestra (25 to 40 musicians) – the NDA has quickly won international acclaim for its fresh, vibrant and dynamic performance style, ever since its establishment in 2002.
