Welcome to the most sparkling music association in Leiden, the symphonic wind orchestra Leids Harmonie Orkest (Leiden Wind Orchestra).
We are preparing for our concert on November 24 in the Regenboogkerk in Leiden. To celebrate our 75 year anniversary we will bring a special program. The highlight is the Concerto for Trumpet and Symphonic Band from Alexander Arutiunian with Adriaan Kramer on the trumpet. All other pieces are dances from different composers and various styles.
Our orchestra was founded in 1949 and has been part of Leiden's music culture ever since.
The Leids Harmonie Orkest is a podium orchestra, performing a varied repertoire of both classical and modern compositions for wind orchestra.
We generally look for unusual, original and seldomly heard wind pieces for concert band with an aim to contributing to the rediscovery and revival of fantastic music for symphonic band.
We hold regular concerts at various venues in - and sometime out of - Leiden throughout the year.
