The choir has been under the direction of Hans van Zeeland since September 2015.

In the meantime there have been performances in the new composition in Eindhoven, Nuenen, Gemert, Middelburg Volkoren and of course in our own municipality Laarbeek, with performances in Beek en Donk (Muziektuinpodium), Mariahout during the Laarbeeks Korenfestival and we have given a number of Christmas concerts in Aarle Rixtel and Beek en Donk. There were also choral trips to Oxford in England and we visited Ghent in Belgium.   We rehearse weekly on Thursday in the Dreef in Aarle Rixtel from 20.15 to 22.30 hours. Afterwards, there is always a collective pleasant hour.
