Below you can find some information about Kunst voor het Volk, a fanfare orchestra in The Hague. The rest of our website is in Dutch. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Musicians are welcome to join us!
Theatre fanfare
Kunst voor het Volk (‘Art for the People’) is a ‘theatre fanfare’. Besides regular concerts, we make shows where we combine beautiful music with theatrical elements, like acting, interactivity and poetry. We always try to surprise our audience with something new. Take a look at our photos and videos to get an idea of what we do.
What is a fanfare orchestra?
The instrumentation of a fanfare orchestra is somewhat different from a wind band or a brass band. A fanfare has flugelhorns, trumpets, trombones, french horns, euphoniums, tubas, saxophones and percussion.
Repertoire
Our repertoire is very diverse and changes regularly. We play challenging concert works as well as light music. These are some of the pieces you can find on our music stands at the moment:
Concert works
Harmony Festival – Jan de Haan
Verso Libre – Arend Gerds
Light music
Back to the Future – arr. Juri Briat
Blue Rondo à la Turk – arr. Marten Grond
Toccata in D Minor – arr. Lieuwe de Jong
