Tuba player Perry Hoogendijk | Concertgebouworkest

A day in the life of our tuba player Perry Hoogendijk! Exactly two years ago today we followed Perry for a day. Little did we know that the Concertgebouw Orchestra would be giving the final concert before the lockdown that night.
Perry Hoogendijk started playing the tenor tuba when he was nine years old, receiving his first lessons from his father, before changing to bass tuba. At the Hilversum Conservatory he received his degree in Performance and Teaching.
Continuing his education at the Conservatories of Essen and Detmold, he studied with Hans Nickel, solo tubaist of the WDR Symphony Orchestra in Cologne. In addition, during several study visits to Chicago, Perry studied with Gene Pokorny, Rex Martin, and Charlie Vernon, and participated in one of the last masterclasses given by the legendary tuba player Arnold Jacobs.
In July 1997 Perry was invited by Roger Bobo to perform at the International Tuba Conference in Riva Del Garda (Italy) as an ‘Emerging Young Artist’. In December 1999 Perry Hoogendijk was a finalist during the solo tubaists' competition at the TubaMania festival in Sydney.
Between 1996 and 2002 Perry Hoogendijk was a member of the North Holland Philharmonic Orchestra. In September 2004 he joined the Concertgebouworkest and was made Professor at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
Perry Hoogendijk is committed to expanding the solo repertoire for tuba. In 2013, this resulted in his cd Quicksilver, containing new works for solo tuba and wind bands.
In 2019 Perry Hoogendijk was able to put into use two new tubas provided to him on loan by the Foundation Concertgebouworkest; an F-tuba built by Adams Brass and a B-flat tuba (contrabass tuba). He also plays on a York C-tuba, donated by the American Friends and a smaller F-tuba Melton, acquired for him by Concert Friends in 2009 and donated to the Foundation Concertgebouworkest.

Inspiring to see the energy. I met Perry a while ago, great guy, passionate, positive mindset and great sense of humor. It's clear that doing what you love gives back more than you have to put into it. Thanks for the video!

Tof om eens te zien hoe de dag van een beroepsmuzikant verloopt. Je bent een geweldige inspiratie voor andere bastuba spelers en - speelsters zoals ik.

Really enjoyed this video. As a trumpet player for 40 years, I switched to the tuba at the start of lockdown. Loved seeing a 'day in the life of'. It has inspired me.

Respect Perry, wat een dagen maken jullie toch elke keer weer. Heb genoten van deze korte docu!

[@LorenzoLopezConductor]

Thank you for uploading. I appreciate the insight into such an amazing orchestra.

I can't think of any city in the USA that I would feel safe walking around in - after dark, especially.

[@danielgulseren9783]

i need to go to a Concert!

[@mavs8888]

Leuk om te zien... Mr. Perry... en dat gewéldige koper van "ons" orkest... take care!

[@jamesmahan284]

I was coming off a stage and it was dark and didnt see the stairs and the euphonium fell and hit the center of the first branch and left a huge dent... As you get older you may want to consider a wheeled hard case instead of the back pack.

Bravo!!!

I wonder if Perry played alongside the Metropole Orkest.

[@pauldenboer1010]

Ben je niet beangt met elke dag de tuba in de agterbak van de auto, zou je een ongeluk krijgen van agtere? (gebrekkig Nederlands)

[@mr.s9136]

At 4:29, he says "Hey Jurgen". That would be Jörgen van Rijen, who shares the principal trombone seat with Bart Claessens. Jörgen van Rijen is an amazingly good player., and not just in the classical realm. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGPHooJrhbZ6iqc

Music is fun. But no one should ever have to or want to comply to this work pace. It's stupid and horrible and is does not contribute to the music or the art at all. Don't you have a union? Get organised and change this circus. Love your playing and spirit though.

[@qbonics30]

That’s why he’s classified as a professional. He works this hard because he loves what he does. To say his efforts don’t contribute to the music and arts at all shows you haven’t tried to chase an upper echelon of excellence in anything worth while🤷🏾‍♂️. Please use perspective before bashing an art you don’t know about.

[@GLC-1979]

@@qbonics30 No one was bashing anything, merely pondering a more relaxed pace.

[@paulmetdebbie447]

@@qbonics30 Not bashing the Art, just the behaviour. He works this hard because his mind is telling him to and he is not in control of it. Going beyond the mind he will find even more musicality and infinite more joy at a more moderate pace of work. The difference between Volodos (at peace) and many other concert pianists (frantically concertizing and recording one CD after the other). My own experience as well.

@@qbonics30 He's not wrong, and it's still not bashing. You're just too sensitive.
