On April 1, 2026, the 7th lustrum of SHOT will begin! Our orchestra will celebrate its 35th anniversary next year, and of course this milestone will be celebrated in style. Throughout the entire lustrum year, from April 2026 until April 2027, various activities and concerts will be organized to celebrate SHOT’s anniversary.

For example, in the coming year we will enjoy the lustrum gala, Kapellendag, an evening of bubble football, and several other secret activities. On November 28, SHOT will present a grand lustrum concert. At the end of the lustrum year, a special SHOT/SOLO concert will also be organized. This will be a collaboration concert between SHOT and its alumni orchestra, SOLO, during which a piece composed especially for SHOT by former SHOT member Alex Poelman will be performed.

The premiere of this piece will take place during our concert tour in Valencia this summer! The lustrum committee has already been working on preparing this spectacular year for quite some time, so keep an eye on the website and our social media channels for the latest updates.
