Lievense Live XL: Persi Swing Collective
Persi Swing Collective: fresh big band with sharp blazers and a swinging mix of jazz, funk, and Latin!
Information
Bigband "Persi Swing Collective" was founded in 2002 as part of Muziekvereniging Volharding from Steenbergen. Under the direction of conductor Daan Bogers, the band grew into one of the best amateur big bands in the Netherlands, with a fresh appearance and a very tight brass section.
The Persi Swing Collective Bigband is a dedicated ensemble known for its very broad musical interests.
Every musical style is taken seriously, resulting in versatile programmes that do not shy away from any genre. From classical big band swing pieces to modern cinematic compositions, from exotic Latin to pounding funk. Vocalist Karen Veenstra plays an important role in many songs. It is also remarkable that many young musicians perform in this versatile orchestra. This is partly thanks to the connection with Muziekvereniging Volharding, which manages to maintain an impressively large training programme with youthful musicians.
The Persi Swing Collective is regularly seen live throughout the year. Over recent years, Persi has played at various (jazz) festivals (including the Nationaal Big Band Concours, jazz festivals in Breda, Delft, Bergen op Zoom and Lelystad) and many other public and private events.
In 2015, the band was awarded first prize at the 'Q-buskers bigbandfestival', where the jury particularly complimented the energy, the sound of the band and the repertoire choice.
