Het Residentiekoor was founded in 1936. It has developed into a large mixed oratorio choir. Het Residentiekoor distinguishes itself by the varied and challenging repertoire. In the past we performed works from, amongst others, Bach, Pärt, Mendelsohn, Poulenc, Bernstein, Händel, and Karl Jenkins. Het Residentiekoor does not shun away from contemporary music and participated in the world premiere of Glorious, a masterpiece by the Dutch composer Jaap Geraerdts. Our conductor is Martin van der Brugge.
We presented the second performance of “The Armed Man” by Karl Jenkins in the Netherlands.
During our rehearsals a professional pianist, Laura Sandee, accompanies the singers. At least once a year we give a public concert in The Hague and on that occasion we are most of the time accompanied by a professional orchestra.
 | If you are interested in joining our choir, or would like to have a taste of the atmosphere, you are warmly invited to join us during our rehearsals. Het Residentiekoor is rehearsing every Thursday evening from 20:00 - 22:15 h at Het Hofstadcollege. Het Hofstadcollege is situated at Het Colijnplein in The Hague, behind the shopping mall Savornin Lohmanplein.
