Welcome to AmSO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

AmSO is an ambitious and vibrant amateur orchestra bringing together dedicated musicians who share a passion for symphonic music. Our players come from diverse backgrounds, united by a commitment to musical excellence, curiosity, and the joy of performing together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the direction of our conductor, Yvonne de Winter<\/strong>, the orchestra explores a broad repertoire \u2014 from well-loved classical works to lesser-known gems \u2014 always striving for expressive, engaging performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaking music together is about more than precision \u2014 it\u2019s about energy, colour, and connection. An orchestra thrives when every musician feels inspired and challenged.\u201d<\/em>
\u2014 Yvonne de Winter, Conductor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We warmly welcome new musicians who are eager to rehearse, grow, and perform with us. For more details, go to the ‘Play with us’ page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This May, we return to Broek in Waterland and the Paaskerk in Amstelveen with a programme centred on Beethoven\u2019s much-loved Pastoral<\/em> Symphony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beethoven\u2019s Sixth Symphony is a vivid and deeply personal tribute to nature, depicting scenes of the countryside from the gentle flow of a brook to the drama of a summer storm and the calm that follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dvo\u0159\u00e1k\u2019s Czech Suite<\/em> brings warmth, colour and lively dance rhythms inspired by Bohemian folk traditions, offering music that is both graceful and full of vitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme also features C\u00e9cile Chaminade\u2019s elegant Concertino for Flute and Orchestra<\/em>, performed by the talented young flautist Ana Raquel Fernandes<\/strong>. This sparkling work combines lyrical charm with virtuosic brilliance, and you will quickly hear why Chaminade\u2019s music has been rediscovered in recent years. For more information about Ana, visit our \u201cIn the Spotlight\u201d page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together these works create a varied and atmospheric programme, and we look forward to welcoming you to our concerts in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last November we were delighted to welcome back young talent Katja Naegele on the violin, when she gave a wonderful performance of the third movement of Lalo\u2019s Symphonie Espagnole<\/em>. Her playing was met with great enthusiasm and added a special brilliance to the evening. Please enjoy videos from this and other recent concerts below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
