“Becoming part of the New Amsterdam family felt like the stars aligning. Aside from the record labels name feeling oddly fitting for an Amsterdam-based maker like me, NewAm reflects an eagerness to bring contemporary classical music into the broader community it deserves. This resonates with me in such an essential way. Genres are so irrelevant when the focus can be on musical adventure and expression instead. I also love how NewAm’s roster consists of such an exciting variety of artists, just like their following is spread across many countries and scenes. NewAm has evolved into the village square where all of us get to connect and exchange. New Amsterdam Records has reached the point of having its own flavour: people will speak of something being “so NewAm”. That's when you know a grassroots effort has grown into a legendary institution.” — Bec Plexus
