Leontien Kröner – van Selms is the project manager of Symphony 2030, the social programming initiative of the Residentie Orkest (Residentie Orchestra). Symphony 2030 serves as the title for the social pillar of the Residentie Orkest and stems from the ambition to be relevant and meaningful to all residents of the city, from all walks of life. Through projects such as “RO in the neighborhood,” the City Orchestra “The Residents,” and tailor-made thematic projects with social partners, we aim to inspire and connect residents of The Hague.
We harness the power of music to stimulate encounters and mutual engagement, to shed light on certain themes, and to build bridges between communities.
