An International Big Band
Founded by Roelof in 2010, The R.P. Swing-Orchestra is in every respect truly
an international orchestra. The orchestra plays in the style made famous
during the 30s and 40s by bandleaders including Charlie Barnet, Benny
Goodman, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw as well as many other well known bands
of the golden age of swing. Hits by European bandleaders are also featured
in the orchestra's repertoire. The main goal which bandleader Roelof
Posthumus strives for is to present swing music of the highest quality to the
public. He has selected the finest professional musicians from Germany, the
Netherlands, Russia, Poland, Spain, Great Britain and the USA.
Performances feature famous big
band numbers in the style of Benny
Goodman, Artie Shaw and Glenn
Miller, to the virtuosic pieces and
hits of European big bands
including Willy Berking, Alix
Combelle and Jean Omer, just to
name a few.
The Orchestra prefers to perform "unplugged" so that all the instruments join together to achieve a full sound
and so that the natural tone quality of the soloists can be enjoyed by the audience.
