Bio
The ‘GELDERS FANFARE ORCHESTRA’ (Gelders Fanfare Orkest) The Gelders Fanfare Orchestra (GFO) is one of Holland’s most renowned fanfare orchestras and consists of about sixty-five enthusiastic musicians. The GFO performs in the premier league of wind orchestras: the Concert-division. For a large part its members are advanced amateurs, but music students and professional musicians play in the orchestra as well. The Fanfare is an orchestral genre which is typical for the Nether¬lands and Belgium, and the players of the GFO just love the sound of this type of orchestra. The GFO has dedicated itself to promoting the fanfare orchestra in its most original form. In addition, the orchestra pursues the introduction of innovative elements within the fanfare music, for example by pro¬viding composition assignments and playing works by new and upcoming composers. The orchestra per¬forms concerts regularly, and participates in numerous musical projects and final exams of conservatory students. The orchestra also organizes the annual “Young Soloists Project”, where promising young mu¬sicians ( 8-18 years old) are invited to an audition. The winner is given the opportunity to perform a solo during a gala-concert of the Gelders Fanfare Orchestra.
