Philzuid at De Ruimte Primary School

Rap, whistling, wind and drums.

The De Ruimte primary school in Son en Breugel is all about music throughout the whole month of June. Musicians from Philzuid are preparing more than 200 students and teachers for a spectacular musical finale: a joint performance of the entire school on Monday 1 July at 2 pm.

“Show Your Art”: The Joy of Making Music Together.
In recent years, musicians from Velswaude have accompanied several primary schools in Brabant and Limburg to give unforgettable performances. Composer Toek Numan has written a unique piece of music especially for these school performances, consisting of separate parts performed by different classes. The result is a musical spectacle in which orchestra musicians, students and teachers shine together. The song “Show your art” is the common thread here.

On July 1st, all students of De Ruimte Primary School, from groups 1 to 8, will perform this special performance with their teachers and Philzuid musicians. In recent weeks, the composition by Twek Numan has been intensively rehearsed. During the workshops, the students were guided by Philzuid musicians, allowing them to experience how fun it is to make music together.

Education in Philzuid
Philzuid offers an extensive educational program for both primary and secondary education. Every year, 20,000 students experience music at school or in the theater thanks to Philzuid. Once a school year, the orchestra, in collaboration with a primary school, presents the “Show Your Arts” project, especially for schools that want to celebrate something special or focus more on music education.
