To celebrate Diemen 800, Muziekschool Diemen is launching the Diemen Youth Orchestra: a new string ensemble for young violinists and cellists. In this orchestra, making music together is central — listening to each other, playing together, and above all enjoying music.
The youth orchestra is intended for children aged 6 to 12 who play the violin or cello. During a series of rehearsals, we work towards performances in the community, contributing musically to the celebrations of 800 years of Diemen.
Rehearsals take place on Saturdays from 16:30 to 17:45 at Theater de Omval (room 2.1) and start on April 11, 2026. The project consists of 12 rehearsals and a number of performances and is led by Hebe de Champeaux. The participation fee is €50.
Students develop their ensemble skills, musicality, and self-confidence, and learn to respond to each other and to the conductor. In this way, they experience what it is like to be part of an orchestra — a valuable and enjoyable addition to their lessons.
All students are welcome to join and gain experience in an orchestra. You can register via info@muziekschooldiemen.nl.
