Henk Veenendaal

Henk Veenendaal (Amersfoort, 1968) grew up in the town of Hoevelaken. There, he had piano lessons for a number of years, but in 1982, back in Amersfoort, he dedicated himself to mastering the trombone. As a conscript, he spent his military service with the Cavalry's Trumpettercorps. From 1988 to 1996, he studied trombone at the conservatory of Utrecht, with Albert Zuiderduijn. In addition to the trombone, he also played tenor and bass tuba, alto trombone and mostly anything and everything else related to these instruments. He got a degree for tenor tuba (fiscorn) and, of course, for orchestral playing. After this, he went to the Swedisch city of Malmö on a scholarship to study with Janne Mortensen. Next followed his exam for Practising Musician, on tenor, alto, and bass trombone. Since 1993, Henk is first tenortuba player with La Principal d'Amsterdam. In addition, he plays with Brassband 'Veluwe Brass' (solo cornet) and the Blue Line BigBand (lead trombone). Versatility is indeed Henk's trademark.
