In 2023 we gave a concert with our full symphony orchestra on October 8 in Munttheater Weert, conducted by Sander Teepen with soloist Vesko Eschkenazy. We also organised two inspiring workshops in Maastricht with Rene Henket and Arno Piters for wind players from the Limburgs Jeugd Symfonie Orkest.
In 2024 we gave a concert on 21 January in a sold-out Sint Janskerk, Maastricht led by conductor Manon Meijs.

In 2022 we gave four concerts with our full symphony orchestra: the Memorial Concert on May 4 in the Heerlen theater, the concert in the Sint.Janskerk on May 8, the concert in the Thorn Open Air Theater on June 26 and, finally, the concert during the WMC on July 9.
We also played with the LJSO ensemble during the Kruisweg on Good Friday in Maastricht, the Poorten van Reijmerstok on June 6 and in the Heerlen theater during the FSI Lentekriebels concert on June 15.
Lei Wang, concertmaster of the South Netherlands Philharmonic, gave an inspiring workshop to our orchestra members.
To conclude, Emmy Verhey gave a masterclass to a number of string players from the LJSO.
Concerts 2021
Despite the Corona lock-downs we managed to perform on Sunday 11 July, at the opening concert of the Openluchttheater Thorn. Despite the short preparation time, the brass and woodwind ensemble were able to present a beautiful concert including the Serenade by Antonin Dvořák. In addition we managed to perform with our full orchestra in theater Kerkrade on December 5ht. After 20 months we were finally able to perform the rehearsed program including the 8th symphony by Antonin Dvorak in front of a very enthusiastic audience!
