Black Pencil's latest CD 'SCHOKLAND' contains short compositions written for the ensemble, all works inspired by Unesco World Heritage Schokland. Schokland is a unique combination of cultural history and nature, in the middle of the Noordoostpolder. Evidence of human habitation dating back more than 10,000 years can be found there. Black Pencil launched an international call for compositions called BLACK PENCIL IN SCHOKLAND PRIZE. The call was a huge success: 174 compositions from 36 countries. The most beautiful compositions are on this CD. This project was made possible by the Province of Flevoland and the Performing Arts Fund NL.
