Grand concert Royal Breda's Male Choir in Sint-Jan Waalwijk

On Sunday, October 20, a very renowned company is on the concert program of the Friends Sint-Jan Waalwijk. That afternoon, the Koninklijke Zangvereniging Breda's Mannenkoor will give a performance in the famous Waalwijk domed church. When this choir gives a concert, something happens. With about 100 men strong, that in itself is a very impressive spectacle. It promises to be a wonderful program. The concert begins at 2:30 p.m. and admission is free. You are very welcome.

Breda Male Voice Choir

The Koninklijke Zangvereniging Breda's Mannenkoor has traditionally been a self-confident, classical, independent male choir that seeks to distinguish itself by level and repertoire. One glance from the conductor, an intro from the orchestra and off it goes! A performance of this choir leaves no one unmoved. The many guests they have welcomed in church or theater for over 150 years are impressed time and again by the quality of one of Holland's best classical male choirs.

The society was founded in 1865. Already since 1905 the choir may carry the predicate "Royal", which emphasizes the quality of the choir and its prominent place within the cultural context of the region of Breda. The aim of the choir is to maintain and, if possible, improve its quality. One of the points of attention is a sufficient number of enthusiastic members. In addition, the weekly intensive rehearsals, since 2008 led by conductor Hans de Wit, are of eminent importance. The high attendance of about 100 members at rehearsals should not go unmentioned and certainly contributes to the high level of the choir. Every year the choir performs about ten concerts at home and abroad. The choir is supported by permanent pianist André Telderman.

Everyone welcome

Everyone who loves music and especially men's choirs, is welcome in the Sint-Jan on Sunday, October 20, at this exceptional opportunity to see this company at work. The concert is organized by the Friends of Sint Jan de Doper. As always, admission is free and a voluntary contribution is requested after the concert. The concert starts at 2:30 p.m. and the doors will be open for you from 2 p.m. onwards. At intermission there will be an opportunity to have a drink and catch up.
