LUSTRUM
105 years of WSKOV
2024 will mark the 105th birthday of the WSKOV, and because of that we will have a special lustrum programm in the theme ‘Echoes of Nature’. We will look at the echoes of our past and shape our future to support nature.
As our music echoes in the churches during our concerts, so does our history echo throughout Wageningen. 105 years of students in the domain of natural sciences making music calls for a celebration. Our members can look forward to a party with the other student orchestras of the Netherlands, a day full of masterclasses, a day to relive the past with former members, and a gala to top it all off.LUSTRUM CONCERTS
We celebrated the start of our lustrum on the 25th of January together with Wageningen University & Research with a special concert on campus. You can see the poster below.

Wageningen Student Choir and Orchestra Association and…
Van Uven Foundation
Prof. dr. M.J. Van Uven (1878 – 1959) was a professor in Mathematics who founded the Wageningen Student Orchestra in 1919 and the Wageningen Student Choir in 1945. In 1947, the choir and orchestra were united into the Wageningen Student Choir and Orchestra Association. Professor Van Uven conducted the choir until 1954 and the orchestra until December 1957. He also funded the important materials to let the orchestra function by buying instruments and sheet music. The collection was later on managed by the Prof. Van Uven Foundation. Currently, The Van Uven Foundation holds several strings and uncommon winds instruments in trust. As a student, you can borrow these. Please mail to wskov@wur.nl for more Information.
