Philzuid

Philzuid is the symphony orchestra of the South. A worthy and flexible orchestra that is lauded for its quality, its tight ensemble play and the radiant enthusiasm of its musicians. From season 21-22 Duncan Ward is the chief conductor. Under the leadership of managing director Mette Laugs Philzuid continuously pushes its boundaries in all aspects of its ambitions. 

Experience live classical music!

Philzuid is the symphony orchestra of the South with 30 staff members and 107 professional musicians: strings, woodwinds, brass instruments and percussionists. We are one of the biggest Dutch orchestras and serve a huge area of the Netherlands.

We constantly push our boundaries by seeking new challenges that touch the hearts, minds and souls of people of all ages. From Maastricht and Eindhoven, we are connected to all inhabitants of the provinces Noord Brabant, Limburg and Zeeland, but also far beyond, at home and abroad. We let everyone experience unforgettable moments of happiness. 

We play music from famous composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky or Dvorák as well as modern classical repertoire. We often play concerts in a regular concert hall or theatre, but sometimes we can also be found in special locations where you can experience classical music in a completely different way. Every season we play Christmas- and Carnival concerts as well as Bach’s famous Matthew Passion and we collaborate in regional projects such as Cultura Nova or projects with local brass bands.

Besides that, we are proud of our extensive educational program, for schoolchildren between 4-18 years old. We produce musical performances for all ages and through the efforts of our musicians and the attractive and accessible teaching material, schoolchildren are enjoying classical music a lot.

Philzuid is the symphony orchestra of the South. We hope to see you at one of our concerts!
