In 2022 we gave four concerts with our full symphony: the Memorial concert on May 4 in Heerlen theater, the concert in the Sint Janskerk on May 8, the concert in the Openluchttheater Thorn on June 26 and the closing concert at the WMC on July 9. Summon the Heroes by John Williams and the 2nd Symphony by Alexander Borodin were part of our program.
We also played with the LJSO ensemble during the Kruusweg on Good Friday in Maastricht, the Poorten van Reijmerstok on June 6 and in Heerlen theater at FSI's Lentekriebels concert.
In addition concertmaster of the philharmonie zuidnederland Lei Wang gave a very inspiring workshop for our orchestra members.

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.
