This week on Curious Orange it's Pioneers & Patroonships - part 2 in our series celebrating the 400-year relationship between the Netherlands and New York.

*** European Jazz Stage/ World Music ***
It's an unlikely story. A musician born in the heartland of classical music, in Vienna - Austria - moves to the USA in 1958 and turns the jazz scene on its head. The name of this Mozart of the jazz world is Joe Zawinul. This week's European Jazz Stage is a tribute to this influential keyboard player who extended the boundaries of jazz beyond belief.
All of that, on the European Jazz Stage with Daniel Frankl.
*** Live! at the Concertgebouw ***
Phenomenal performances by Dutch top orchestras.
Live! at the Concertgebouw 2007

The programme is hosted by Hans Haffmans and Cynthia Wilson.
Live! at the Concertgebouw 2008
The more we find out about Beethoven, the more we are forced to see his music in a different light, says director Paavo Järvi.

Your host, as usual, is Hans Haffmans.

*** Earthbeat (primary programme) ***
In this week's Earthbeat we focus on a controversial dam project in Turkey. Citing environmental concerns, an international consortium pulled out of the Ilisu Dam Project earlier this month. The dam, which is set to become one of the world's largest, would flood a massive ecosystem and a historic town. The project is the topic of widespread public opposition in Turkey, with big-name celebrities leading the opposition.
And we look at a recently crowned World Heritage Site in the Netherlands: the Wadden Sea. This enormous tidal region stretching along the Dutch, German and Danish coast host tens of thousands of migratory birds and other wildlife. Environmental groups in the Netherlands are lauding the decision, although the government says it won't affect legislation governing the Wadden Sea. But the fishing community is concerned. They say they've heard that promise before.
