On June 3, the independent label Excelsior Recordings – Musis Sacrum Anno 1996 – celebrates its birthday. According to an AI bot, a 30th anniversary is a special milestone: it highlights the transition from an exuberant life as a twenty-something to the next decade full of new experiences and challenges. All the more reason to celebrate the anniversary. On the day after Christmas, Excelsior's best recording artists will perform at the Tolhuistuin for a celebration of the past, present, and future of pop culture in our polder. That promises to be quite something.
