What is jongNBE?

The Young Dutch Wind Ensemble, or jongNBE for short, is an ensemble of talented young musicians from Dutch conservatories, some of whom have already graduated, while others are still in the middle of their studies. The ensemble consists of 10 musicians (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, saxophone, (bass) trombone, percussion and double bass/bass guitar) and is coached by experienced musicians from the NBE.

The jongNBE accompanies the young composers during the showcases of the Young Composers Competition and also plays its own programmes throughout the Netherlands. jongNBE has performed at the Grachtenfestival, at Vroege Vogels in Park de Hoge Veluwe, during lunch concerts in the Concertgebouw, at the Uitmarkt, on Opium on NPO Radio4, during the Oranjewoud Festival, at the World Cup Hockey, at the Cello Biennale and in the Holland Opera productions at Fort Rijnauwen.
