Deventer Symphony Orchestra
The Deventer Symphony Orchestra (DSO) is a warm and ambitious amateur orchestra with over 35 members. For over 100 years, we have been bringing music to life in Deventer and the surrounding area. We rehearse weekly on Monday evenings and perform several concerts each year, including an atmospheric autumn concert in the Ichthus Church.
Our repertoire is broad and challenging – from classical masterpieces to film and light music. What sets us apart is the combination of musical ambition and an open, safe culture where everyone feels welcome. We believe that the joy of making music together is the foundation for quality and connection.

From West to East – a musical journey through Europe
On Saturday afternoon, April 18, 2026, at 3:00 PM, the Deventer Symphony Orchestra conducted by Paul Groeneveld will give a concert in the Ichtuschurch, Holterweg, Deventer
.
The Deventer Symphony Orchestra will take you on a journey from England via France and Germany to Russia. Under the direction of Paul Groeneveld, we will play works by Jenkins, Elgar, Bizet, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Mussorgsky, and Tchaikovsky.
The orchestra, which has existed for over 100 years, is itself also on a journey: in search of a new permanent conductor with new musical horizons in store.
The journey you will hear this evening is led by conductor Paul Groeneveld, who has also personally selected some of the stops. With highlights including ‘Palladio’ by Jenkins, the ‘Allegretto’ from Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, and the overture ‘Die Hebriden’ by Mendelssohn.
In short, a varied program of character and tempi.
