DE ANTWERPSE STUDENTENHARMONIE

“We are an orchestra for students and alumni,” explains Ruth, “and we host two concerts a year, one in winter and one in spring. Throughout the year, we also organise other activities, such as bowling or mini-golf.”

“Our repertoire consists of a wide range of songs, sometimes salsa, sometimes jazz, sometimes more classical. Each concert also includes a piece of film score.” This year, for example, they will be playing tunes from – drumrolls please – The Blues Brothers and Snow White. So, who’s invited to the weekly rehearsals in preparation for their beautiful concerts? “Right now, we’re mainly looking for wind instruments,” Lauranne shares. And, important for the drumrolls: “Percussionists are also welcome,” adds Ruth. “After the weekly rehearsals, especially after the first one, we’ll go out for a drink so everyone can get to know each other,” Lauranne notes enthusiastically.

On Monday 29 September and 6 October, de Antwerpse Studentenharmonie holds open rehearals. At 7.30 p.m., Prinses16 is the place to be to show your musical talent and to blow everyone away!
