Vacancy Tutti Viola

We are an orchestra from and for everyone. We continually push our boundaries by seeking new challenges that touch people of all ages in heart, mind, and soul. We are known for our grand symphonic concerts, but we are also creators. We develop new concert formats in unexpected locations. We take pride in our educational programs. Small ensembles visit elementary schools to let students experience live classical music. In theaters, primary and secondary school students meet the entire symphony orchestra and actively participate in our performances. The orchestra is led by our chief conductor, Duncan Ward. From Eindhoven and Maastricht, we are connected to all residents of Limburg, North Brabant, and Zeeland, as well as far beyond, both nationally and internationally. With our music, we aim to surprise. We provide everyone with unforgettable moments of happiness. We are the symphony orchestra of the South.
