At a young age, Mirjam Steinmann caught the Nederlands Blazers Ensemble “virus,” not least because her father played in the ensemble for many years. As a little girl, she would sit motionless at the back of the hall, captivated by the unique sounds and tones. \u201cI was enchanted by the sound of the horn in the orchestra. And it was such a beautiful instrument to look at. That shiny brass\u2014I wanted to play it too.\u201d Although she was only eight years old and “quite small,” she was determined to learn to play the heavy instrument\u2014there were no children’s horns back then. \u201cI’m glad I persisted because I\u2019m so happy with my horn.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now that Mirjam is a member of the ensemble herself, she truly appreciates how special the group is. \u201cEvery corner and crevice of music is explored, examined, and made our own. The classical programs are touchingly vulnerable. And the larger productions are simply a joy.\u201d The foreign tours to New Zealand, India, and America have left a lasting impression on her. \u201cAll those new cultures and experiences have really contributed to the person I am today.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":21572,"menu_order":11,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4529","musici","type-musici","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","instrumenten-french-horn"],"acf":{"musici_link_type":"link","musici_extra_images_vids":false,"musici_social_url":""},"yoast_head":"\n
