Foundation Midwinterhoornblazen Twenthe © 2007

Midwinterhoorn

 

 

This is the official site of The Midwinterhoorn Foundation Twenthe

 

This is a story about the midwinterhoorn.  A midwinterhoorn is an instrument, used in the eastern part of Holland, called Twente.

People play it between the first Sunday of Advent and Epiphany.

 

During the advent period you can hear the horn frequently. Every village has its own group. You will hear the melancholy sound of the horn in many places!

 

From the end of November onwards a program is available on this site: you can see when and where the players will demonstrate the melody. This program is only available in Dutch. Click on Events to see it.

 

 

 

You will never forget the sound….
