\n

Quadrivium is a very active association. Some activities happen once, others return more often. In this way we also get to know each other outside rehearsals and we also make contact with people from other sub-associations. On this page you will find an overview of many annual activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

MOP<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Three times a year we organize a Musical Open Podium or a MOP. A MOP is an event where Quadrivium members perform for each other in an accessible and relaxed setting. For example, you can play a piano piece you\u2019ve been working on, perform with an ensemble, or just listen to other people\u2019s acts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Q Goes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We regularly organize Q Goes, where you can attend a concert with other Quadrivium members. This is extra fun, and a discount can often be arranged. We frequently go and listen to other (student) orchestras and choirs in which (former) members participate, and other great concerts at the Muziekgebouw. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pianoavond<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A few evenings per year, the piano members get together to share what music they have been working on and to play music together as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Piano masterclass<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A few times a year there are so-called Piano Masterclasses. A few of our piano members study in piece, and then receive feedback from a professional in front of a small audience. It is a fun and effective way to increase the musicality of both the pianist and the audience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

ALU<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The ALU (Active Members Activity) is an activity organized by the board that serves as a thank you to all people who have committed themselves to the association in the past year. Basically, all the people who were on the committee last year. The activity itself is always different and always a secret until it actually starts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Open Rehearsals and Tosti Lunch<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Quadrivium gives open rehearsals twice a year, one week in September and one in February. Because without musicians we would be a very mediocre music association. If you are interested in joining the association, the open rehearsals are the best time because you can do it together with other interested parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To welcome the new members, there's traditionally a tosti lunch with unlimited grilled cheese sandwiches on the Friday after the open rehearsals!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

MomenTUm is TU\/e\u2019s academic celebration for all graduates, with a large ceremony associated with it, for which Quadrivium forms a fanfare every year to provide the ceremony with a musical march.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rehearsal weeQend<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At the rehearsal weeQend, all sub-associations go away for a weekend to rehearse (self-explanatory). The rehearsal week always takes place at an external location where we not only make a lot of progress on the pieces, but also have a pleasant time together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SinterQlaas<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Every year around December 5, Sinterklaas\u2019 brother, SinterQlaas, pays a visit to the TU\/e campus. Together with his purple Pieten and a mopping band consisting of Quadrivium members, Saint Nicholas visits many college halls where the Pieten each donate sprinkles and the band delights people with SinterQlaas songs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

End of Year BarbeQue<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After a year of making music, there is no better way to start the summer than with a barbecue. It is a good way to see people one last time before the holidays and also creates a connection between the various sub-associations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Summer trip<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The summer trip can take many forms. Sometimes, it is a concert trip where we will perform a concert in one or more foreign cities. Other times, it is a piano trip, where we visit different important locations for the world of pianists, and sometimes it is just a holiday trip because it is fun to travel together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
