Codarts Wind Band: De Profundis (Klaas de Vries)

The Codarts Wind Band, led by Arie van Beek, will be performing Klaas de Vries’ challenging De Profundis – 31 years after. In 1994, the Rotterdams Conservatorium Wind Band, also led by Arie van Beek, intensively prepared and recorded in CD De Profundis, which was a great success and was performed in different competitions and stages across Europe. Many of our current teachers in the Classical Music department were participating in this project and, as part of a collaborative performance in a Festival organized by DoelenEnsemble, the Codarts Wind Band, 31 years after, will be performing again this great masterpiece of the Wind Band repertoire.
