Seniorenorkest St Caecilia

To continue making music as long and as well as possible in old age, that was the aim of the senior orchestra when it was founded in 1994. Fortunately, this is still the case, and sociability is also of paramount importance to this musical group. The members are all 55 years or older.

Regional orchestra
The members can by now be called regional, because the musicians come from all corners of the world in the surroundings of Lieshout. The almost 25-member orchestra has been under the inspiring leadership of Piet van Neerven from Beek en Donk since 2011, after the death of the then conductor and co-founder Bert Brouwers in that year.

Every year, the orchestra performs some 15 to 20 times, including at care homes and nursing homes and at festive events in Laarbeek, but also beyond. The orchestra's repertoire consists of pleasant music such as polkas, waltzes, marches and other popular music of various genres. But also a musical enlivenment of a Eucharist celebration fits in their repertoire.
