Limburgs Jeugd Symfonie Orchestra concerts of 24 and 25 april cancelled
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 Saturday April 24 (theater Heerlen), April 25 (Theresiakerk Maastricht) and all planned rehearsals in the context of these concerts. The concerts have been moved to Sunday June 27 (Theresiakerk Maastricht) and Sunday December 5 (Theater Kerkrade). Rehearsals for these concerts will start on Sunday May 2, 2021. We look forward to getting back to work as soon as the Corona measures allow us.

Niels Dauven has joined the Board of the Limburgs Jeugd Symfonie Orkest
'I do this based on the belief that music brings people together. Even though you may not speak the same language, the music speaks for itself and that really brings people together. I myself am not a musical high-flyer. I can enjoy the music, but I lack the musical talent. Still, I think I can make a valuable contribution to the board. Since I was 19, I have been active as a municipal councilor of Valkenburg aan de Geul, and I am experienced in participating in the boards of associations. I am someone who likes to organise and I always try to connect with other organisations because together we bring each other further, just like in an orchestra, actually, Together you create something beautiful, ' says Niels Dauven.
We wish Niels the best of luck! On behalf of the board, conductor and orchestra members.
