Playing as a percussionist with the Residentie Orkest, standing in front of the orchestra as a conductor or trying out different orchestral instruments. Is there any better way to bring music to life? In the Discover the Orchestra project, students from grade 6 upwards explore the world of tones, timbre, rhythms and sounds for three years. They receive lessons at school from music teachers and orchestra members, go on concert and rehearsal visits to Amare, play along with musicians at a concert, receive composition workshops where they create their own pieces, and conclude the whole thing with a conducting project.

Discover for yourself what Ontdek het Orkest entails in the special trailer of the learning line.

Ontdek het Orkest is a three-year music program in which the Residentie Orkest in cooperation with Kunst Onderwijs organisation Den Haag (KOO) introduces and teaches aspects of the orchestra to some 1,500 pupils from The Hague every year.
