DJ Jeff Mills and philharmonie zuidnederland took stage at Het Concertgebouw for a magical night of classical music combined with experimental tunes in a performance called The Planets. Not your typical techno night, not the conventional classical concert, but the perfect way to attract a wider audience. Incredible work of the man of the night Jeff Mills, the musicians and conductor Christophe Mangou – who proved that classical musicians possess some impressive moves too…
