Da Qapo

The motto of the 57th board is Da Qapo. If you come across the term "da capo" anywhere in sheet music, it means that you are going back to the beginning of the piece. And starting over is exactly what we as a new board would like to do after a long period of restrictions due to corona. Corona has ensured that we have seen each other much less, and when we saw each other, especially in small groups. We would like to bring back the commitment within the association. We would also like to improve communication to members. We also aim to continue the green policy and to further internationalize the association. We would like to thank Levi Baruch for taking the beautiful pictures on this page!

As chair I am responsible for leading the meetings and the daily management. I also work hard to guarantee the policy and to achieve the goals of the association.

As commissioner of ensembles I, together with Laethitia Held, am concerned with the smaller chamber music groups. I make sure there is the opportunity to rehearse, receive coaching and to perform. Furthermore, as commissioner piano members, I take care of the maintenance of the pianos and I organize activities and masterclasses for our piano members.

As secretary I am often involved in handling emails, making minutes and other administrative tasks. You will also receive a monthly newsletter from me. Basically, I do a lot of work behind the scenes. In addition, I also took care of the ensembles together with Stefan. I will often act as a contact person here, and together we will also ensure that great performances are organized for them.

Paul ter Rele
vokollage@esmgquadrivium.nl

As the commissioner of Vokollage, it is my job to keep the wheels of the choir turning and to organize a couple of concerts each year. This entails: communicating with the conductor, gathering sheet music, and reminding singers in a “friendly” manner to tell me beforehand when they cannot come to a rehearsal. I share this workload with the Vokollage Commission (VokCie), a group of fellow choir members with whom I discuss matters concerning the concerts and rehearsals and to whom I can delegate work.

Emmie Bessems
auletes@esmgquadrivium.nl

Together with my co-commissioner Vera I’m responsible for Q’s wind orchestra Auletes. While Vera focuses on artistic tasks revolving around organizing and executing projects, my main focus is on the weekly administrative tasks and communication with the members. Of course, we complement each other wherever necessary! If you would like to know more about our fantastic wind orchestra or one of our upcoming projects, take a look at our agenda or send us an email!
