Looptail is a new music sextet based in Amsterdam. Its members are established professionals and recent graduates of the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Formed during the Conservato-ry's Composers' Festival 2011, the ensemble focuses on working with composers of its gener-ation and developing the alternative music scene in the Netherlands.
Apart from their experience in performing with well-established new music ensembles across Europe, the musicians of Looptail have broad musical interests and are also active in many other musical fields such as music theatre or Japanese traditional music. In addition to work-ing with young composers from the Netherlands, Looptail aims at internationalizing its activi-ties. Upcoming plans include presenting their repertoire outside the country and also working with composers and musicians abroad in order to introduce those works to the Dutch new music scene.
