When conductor Jun Märkl isn't exploring the Alaskan wilderness in his camper van, you'll find him on the staff of the world's best-known orchestras. This summer he joins as chief conductor of the Residentie Orkest, of which he has been a regular guest conductor since 2021.

Join the Amateur Arts Festival on Saturday afternoon, May 10, during the Volunteer Market "Together for a more beautiful The Hague" at Open Amare.

As of 2024, the Residentie Orkest has a new alto oboist: Alexander van Eerdewijk. "I really like the role the cor anglais plays in the orchestra. It's a very warm and expressive sound!"
