On November 22, 2023, Queen Maxima of The Netherlands attended the opening of the Leerorkest Symposium at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. The Leerorkest is an innovative music education program that aims to give primary school children the chance to develop themselves musically by learning to play a musical instrument. Every week the children practice playing their instruments in groups. They learn specially written orchestral pieces and are from the very first day members of their own orchestra.
