Clicking on the Oxford link, how can they say it is the World Premiere if it has already been performed in Holland??.

A bit misleading, what???

Not really; Oxford did have the world-premiere, it was only last week the negotiations for the Dutch performance were finished. Jonathan Powell put up a note about the Dutch performance end of last week, and the notification on the venue's website went up today. Oxford simply hasn't yet sniffed the news, I guess!
NB: ticket price in Den Bosch is below the Oxford price. Sure, you'd have to sepnf a few hundred to get there, but at least your ticket would be cheaper! :D

When Practice Stagnates – Breaking the Performance Ceiling: Robotic Training for Pianists
