Royaal: Dates, Cities & Tickets

Step into an extraordinary night of grandeur and imagination, where the Euregio Youth Orchestra invites you on a royal journey that will carry you from the regal ceremonies of coronations to the glittering halls of fairy‑tale palaces, and beyond into mythic realms. The program opens with William Walton’s festive coronation march, "Orb and Sceptre," written for Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, setting a majestic tone that reverberates through the concert hall. From there, Sergei Prokofiev’s enchanting waltz and dramatic midnight moment from "Cinderella" transport the audience into the beloved story’s luminous scenes.

Trombonist Jan Van de Watering, winner of the Princess Christina Competition in May 2026, shines alongside the orchestra in Nino Rota’s dazzling “Trombone Concerto in C.” A fiery Spanish court bursts to life with Jules Massenet’s dances from "Le Cid," rich with temperament and color. After the intermission, Nikolai Tsjerepnin’s poetic symphonic narrative, "La Princesse lointaine," opens, followed by Ottorino Respighi’s sweeping “Belkis, Regina di Saba,” a thrilling musical fresco centered on the legendary Queen of Sheba. The triumphant finale delivers John Williams’ iconic “Throne Room” from Star Wars, a victorious ending that perfectly complements the royal atmosphere of the evening.

“ROYAAL” is a concert of majesty, fairy‑tale wonder, and exotic splendor, showcasing the energy, talent, and enthusiasm of these young musicians. External links: Details & tickets.
