After Riet Smulders retired as an accordion teacher at the CKE in 2013, she was back in front of her accordion ensemble in November 2019. During a third reunion in May 2019, it was decided to revive the former music school ensemble D’Accord as D’Accord Encore.
The current line-up consists of 4 first, 4 second, 4 third, 2 fourth and 2 bass voices.
Would you like to play with us? Experienced players are welcome! Contact at daccordencore@hotmail.com
We rehearse every second Saturday afternoon of the month, with the exception of July and August.
The repertoire consists of original accordion music, arrangements of well-known classical pieces, compositions by Astor Piazzolla, Balkan, Klezmer, Musical and film music.
We think it’s a nice challenge to give a concert every year to perform new repertoire, but also to do that together with a guest ensemble. In 2022 accordion quintet ARTE was a guest, in 2023 accordion and mandolin association the Echo van het Zuiden.

With youth workers, social administrators, neighbourhood sports coaches, volunteers, trainees and of course the youth, we do our work in Eindhoven and the region. With this we reach young people from 7 to 27 years old. The juvenile centres in the neighbourhoods are the central centre of juvenile work, but we organize many activities outside of them. You can say: Dynamo Juvenile Work is everywhere where young people do their “thing”.
We pick up trends, needs and signals and translate them into activities. The activities we organize are intended for meeting and relaxation, sensible leisure activities, talent development and personal growth. We encourage young people to learn to organize themselves and support them on their path to realizing their dreams.
Dynamo Jeugdwerk has its own agenda: www.dynamojeugdwerk.nl

We execute an annual concert every autumn. We also like to play in nursing homes, community centres and on special occasions and invitations.
The repertoire is very diverse, from light classical music and musicals to a swinging waltz or a rhythmic tango, as well as more modern songs.

The Self-Help Network Southeast Brabant Foundation brings fellow sufferers together. Because people who have been through the same thing often understand better what you’re struggling with than people who don’t have the same experience. By talking to each other about your experiences you know that you are not alone, but you can also talk about all the possibilities that are there and how you can be more powerful in life.There are self-help groups in different areas of life that are divided into four categories: physical, mental, addiction and other. People meet at different locations.Joining groups is anonymous and free. In the groups, the participants themselves determine how they organize the meetings, because each self-help group is autonomous. www.zelfhulpnetwerk.nl
