CONCERT AGENDA
Always wanted to play Wagner in an orchestra?
Now’s your chance! Join the Jubilee Concert of the Limburg Youth Symphony Orchestra!
The LJSO is celebrating its 15th anniversary with a spectacular concert on November 23, 2025, at the Theater aan het Vrijthof in Maastricht, conducted by Matty Cilissen.
The highlight of the program is Wagner’s magnificent Ring Suite (Scenes from the Ring – Der Ring ohne Worte). A powerful and grand piece that young musicians rarely get the chance to perform! We’re looking for enthusiastic, advanced string, wind, percussion players and harpists who want to take on this adventure. After the intermission, solo works will follow featuring Marjon Lambriks, Lei Wang, Huub Claessens, and Kim Savelsbergh.
Apply before September 1, 2025, or as long as spots are available.
