Following the decision of the Dutch government to cancel all meetings and events related to the Corona crisis, we are unfortunately forced to cancell the LJSO concerts of November 22 (Kerkrade theater), November 29 (Theresiakerk Maastricht) and all planned rehearsals in the context of these concerts. The concerts have been moved to Saturday April 24 (Heerlen theater) and Sunday April 25 (Theresiakerk Maastricht). Rehearsals for these concerts will start on Sunday March 14, 2021. De strings workshop with Vesko Eschkenazy will also be replanned 12 june 2021.
Unfortunately we have not been able to complete our rehearsals with the concerts, but the rehearsals have brought our orchestra a lot on a musical level and group level. Below some pictures of one of the last rehearsals. We look forward to continue working together in 2021 and wish everyone the very best.
