Residentie Orkest teams up with Pat Smith, frontman of The Hague based reggae band Splendid, for a night of contemporary classical music fused with chilled out beats.

This collaboration was a first for both Pat Smith and the orchestra, as Smith’s first time fronting an entire symphony and the Residentie Orkest’s first time playing to Reggae.
