The Dutch String Guild is a national music society that annually puts together a project string orchestra from advanced amateurs. During a seven-day rehearsal period, an adventurous and contemporary program is rehearsed, after which the orchestra goes on tour through the Netherlands. The quality of the performances is paramount and therefore the participants are selected in advance by means of auditions. Eventually, a string orchestra of approximately forty musicians is created.
