Trouw: Ernst Veen fears big deficits New Church, Holland Symfonia in kicking seat

Ernst Veen

Trouw's commentary addresses the problems that are now beginning to be felt even at the top of the arts sector:

Cultureel ondernemerschap kan mooie dingen opleveren. Ernst Veen, die in de hoofdstad De Nieuwe Kerk en de Hermitage Amsterdam als nieuwe tentoonstellingsruimten tot grote bloei bracht, is er een succesvol voorbeeld van. Gisteren beklaagde hij zich in Trouw dat hij ondanks dat succes toch twee ton subsidie moet inleveren op de exploitatiekosten van De Nieuwe Kerk, tien procent van de begroting. En nee, hoe succesvol hij in het genereren van sponsorgelden ook is geweest, die twee ton is niet zo maar gevonden.   (..)
The Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra can take over Holland Symfonia's concert duties, according to the state secretary. En passant, therefore, one orchestra has been cut after all, and the Haarlem Philharmonic, renovated with a lot of public money, is losing its main player. It's called capital destruction.
