And so the wonderful season draws to an end! Doing a few open air concerts to come in relaxing vibes. Returning outdoors by the end of August for oudehavenconcert.nl. After that to Singapore for a week, and... bracing for our big Festival in November. calefax.nl/agenda/ . Have a great summer!

Inside each of the many Wind Bands worldwide you’ll find a Reed Quintet. 😍 Johan de Meij ‘s ‘Un Momento Dado’ is the perfect showcase to demonstrate this. Come and see this master piece on June 1st in Malden! We’ll perform it with the magnificent Harmonie KW Wamel. ✨🔥😻

USA Tour is over! An intense two weeks ended in three great concerts in the Bay Area. Grateful to all who made this possible — and our audiences that cheered so loudly to our wish that USA and European people will stick together in music.
