Include one of our wonderful programs in your 2026–2027 season and help make our very last season a blazing farewell tour
With a deep bow to its audience, the Hexagon Ensemble announces its farewell after 36 years!
After 36 years of making music together in 142 different programs, and receiving the applause of 324,055 listeners, the Hexagon Ensemble will bring its journey to an end in July 2027.
The Hexagon Ensemble celebrates the conclusion of 36 years of musical collaboration with four magnificent programs that highlight all of the ensemble’s strengths: unity in playing, beauty of sound, originality, and—last but not least—passionate dedication to the ideas of the composer.
In this final season, the six musicians will meet their audience once more with programs that reflect every facet of the ensemble: masterpieces from the repertoire, collaborations with distinguished soloists, and a production of intimate music theatre. All of this will come together, we hope, in a blazing and grand farewell tour.
A personal note from the six of us:
From the very beginning, the Hexagon Ensemble has stood for inspired music-making. That was our dream, and the reason we founded the ensemble: six instrumentalists capable of creating thousands of sound combinations. Always searching for quality and nuance within the wealth of instrumental colors, we strove for both excellence and adventurousness.
Our surprising repertoire choices and our close-knit ensemble playing led to captivating concerts that reached a large and enthusiastic audience. We performed in churches, concert halls, theatres, on radio and television, outdoors, at festivals, at home and abroad, and in doing so reached more than 300,000 people. We played masterpieces, unknown works, arrangements, and music by young composers, made recordings, and collaborated with leading soloists.
All those masterpieces we have played and continue to play are immortal and live on in our hearts. But in July 2027, we will gladly pass them on to the next generation of chamber musicians.

Meerkind, een new family program
A musical family show for everyone aged 5 and up.
The performance runs 55 minutes without an intermission.
In a small village on the edge of a vast lake, a girl grows up.
But it’s never fast enough for her. She longs to be big, bigger, the biggest. Why settle for a lake when there is a whole sea, where the sun can be watched sinking day after day?
Julia van der Vlugt and the musicians of the Hexagon Ensemble invite you on a musical voyage toward the horizon, inspired by the timeless story of Peer Gynt and the enchanting music of Edvard Grieg, arranged by Gijs Philip van Schaik.

Christmas and New Year’s Concert
A Christmas concert is a Christmas concert: every piece on the program must radiate warmth and have an immediate effect on the audience. This is sure to succeed with the Hexagon Ensemble’s extremely accessible and festive Christmas program, which naturally includes music from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker – the quintessential Christmas music. In addition, the program features music by Mozart, Canteloube, and Pijper’s Noëls de France. This program once again features a collaboration with the versatile soprano Ekaterina Levental.
