“Great Christmas Play-in” Celebrations - Netherlandsby Christine Johnstone |
A “Great Christmas Play-in” will be held at the Kulturhus 't Kruispunt in Laren, Gelderland, Netherlands on December 17th, 2023 from 10am to 5pm. The event celebrates the 75th anniversary of Zweverink Muziek and the 25th anniversary of NJAO (Netherlands Youth Accordion Orchestra). Over the past 25 years, various students/youth orchestra members of Dinie Zweverink have been part of the NJAO, so conductor Jorind Josemans approached Dinie to organize a play-in and concert together. The day will begin with the “play-in” together with the NJAO. Approx. 40 accordionists from all over the country have already registered to play with the NJAO. A final concert will be held at 3pm and feature performances by the NJAO, the NJAO with the play-inners, the Jubilee Orchestra and finally everyone will play together – over 100 accordionists. Their program will include music by Astor Piazzolla, Karl Jenkins, Vangelis, J.S. Bach, and Whitney Houston. If you wish to participate please email: secretaris@njao.nl |
