The venue was the Nieuwe Church in The Hague, which had been used as a concert hall. The conductor is Hans Vonk, who has just been appointed as Music Director of the Dresden State Opera and Chief Conductor of the Staatskapelle Dresden in his fifth year as Chief Conductor. The Residenti Orchestra's misfortune Founded in 1904, the Residenti Orchestra had a 2,088-seat multipurpose hall, the Hall of Arts and Sciences, as its home for 60 years, but after it was taken out of service due to obsolescence and burned down while a real estate company was planning renovations, the orchestra was left without a home and moved from theater to theater and multipurpose hall It had been moving from one theater and multipurpose hall to another. Plans to Build a New Hall The Hague is the political center of the Netherlands, home to the royal family, the parliament, and the international conference center, and has the third largest population in the Netherlands, so the demand for orchestras was expected. In 1982, the Residenti Orchestra decided to raise funds to build its own concert hall. Self-help efforts to raise funds The orchestra also decided to use the proceeds from its self-produced recordings to finance the construction, and released over two dozen albums from 1985 to 1987, when the new hall, the Dr. Anton Philipssaal, was completed. The orchestra released more than two dozen albums from 1985 to 1987, when the new hall, the Dr. Anton Philipssaal, was completed. Contents of self-produced recordings Mostly recordings by chief conductor Hans Vonk, but also recordings by Heinz Warberg, Ferdinand Leitner, and Alain Lombard, as well as chamber ensemble recordings without a conductor. Hall used for recording The recording venue was the Nieuwe Church (New Church) in The Hague, which was closed in 1969 and renovated to become a multi-purpose facility including a concert hall, built in the mid-17th century when the Flote Church (large church) became too small to accommodate the congregation. Since the church was adjacent to the new hall, it became part of the complex, and after many twists and turns, it is now part of the larger performing arts complex "Amare". (Nihon Shuppan Boeki)
