Het Huisorkest is a student orchestra where “gezelligheid” is very important, and everyone is welcome. The composition of Het Huisorkest is therefore very diverse: from violin to saxophone, from trumpet to alto recorder, there’s a place for everyone! The orchestra is led by Anja Oosterbeek.
The Huisorkest distinguishes itself from other orchestras through the distinctive productions it performs: each production seeks to bridge the boundaries between different art forms. There is always more going on than just making music. For example, there was the production “Droompaleis” in February 2026, in which the music was brought to life by the members’ own stories and the sand art of Tetiana Horina. Another example is the production “soundtrack of life” from February 2025. For this production, the Huisorkest collaborated with students from the theater association STUK. The Huisorkest has been collaborating with other talents for years to put on unique and enjoyable concerts every year. Moreover, we use new music for every concert. There is great variety among the pieces, as we play everything from classical and jazz to film and pop music.
There are two concerts per year, in the winter and summer, for which we also organize rehearsal weekends. This means a weekend filled with music and “gezelligheid”, including games, delicious food, and a great atmosphere. In addition, there is a monthly activity for members and an annual BBQ as the conclusion of the academic year. Please visit our website and Instagram page for more information about The Huisorkest. We hope to see you at the next open rehearsal!
Rehearsal: Wednesday evenings, 20:30-22:00
