A highlight was a performance in Vredenburg,Utrecht(The Netherlands) where the WW had to make a mix of Strawinsky’s Sacre Du Printemps and hip-hop beats. The same piece was conducted that night by “Het Radio Philharmonisch Orkest”.
In 2003 the WW toured all over The Netherlands with dance group Ish in a show called “Kicks”. This show featured 4 dancers and 3 DJ’s, a rare thing to witness in theatres.
