This Anglo-Dutch event certainly delivered as promised, using the combined, accomplished forces of Holland's ground-breaking Orkest de Volharding and UK band Icebreaker.

Mixed with various video backdrops directed by Hexstatic, the battery of saxophones, clarinets and brass, plus a small, amplified string section, provided plenty of power and colour for a variety of art rock textures meshed with modern classical voicings.

Jack The Diamond's Jamming Station by Joe Cutler suggested Henry Cow scoring a David Lynch movie with many surreal, nightmarish, solarised images flashing by.

Yannis Kyriakides' Lab Fly Dreams began with minimalist keyboard repetition leading to overwhelming tuttis, definitely not for insect phobes, it included electronic buzzing and fluttering as part of an exhilarating soundtrack to a sweeping monochrome landscape.

Diderick Wagenaar's Pantomima brought to mind Messaien with its surging woodwind and pianistic flourishes linked to hypnotic film of concentric patterns.

Cornelis de Bondt's Gli Toccha la Mano combined many varied elements including virtuosic flute solos, baroque dance passages in the brass and driving saxes recalling Stravinsky's Ebony Concerto.

It peaked early with a magnificent performance from vocalist Cristina Zavalloni.
