On September 13 and 14, 2024, the Arnhem Promenade Orchestra will perform a unique concert at the Eusebius Church in Arnhem. This concert commemorates 80 years since Operation Market Garden. The program includes memorable music pieces from the Market Garden period. This year, special guests include the Pegasus Pipes and the Indonesian singers NonaNona, who will offer a moment of reflection on the colonial war. Additionally, Ukrainian singer Yana Popova will perform her own composition, “Melody.” The guests will be accompanied by the Arnhem Promenade Orchestra.

The Arnhem Promenade Orchestra is a special project orchestra comprising sixty highly talented amateur musicians from Arnhem and regional harmony/fanfare associations for this occasion. This unique orchestra is conducted by Peter Smits.

Each year, the Arnhem Promenade Orchestra presents a special concert, such as the Arnhem concert with Karin Bloemen, Queen Symphony, the Gelre Passion with soloists Linda Wagenmakers and Tony Neefs, Symphonica at the Zoo (in Burgers Zoo), and the highly successful Market Garden Memorial concert in 2019.
