UWC Nederland en Het Koninklijk Concertgebouw Orkest (KCO) werken samen voor het KCO programma Young. Young brengt jonge musici met liefde voor klassieke muziek samen, maar wat weten ze eigenlijk verder van elkaar? UWC NL verzorgt verschillende sessies voor deze jongeren in het teken van kennismaken. Als je je veilig voelt, gesteund en onderdeel van het geheel, kun je meer ontspannen en kan al je focus bij het spelen liggen.

Meet Pieter Lemmens, one of the contributing artists to the Art for Impact webshop this year. If anyone knows how to connect the real world with an imaginary ideal world, it is Pieter Lemmens. Within the opaque world in which we live in, Lemmens searches for the complex social, political and economic structures that underlie in our society. Lemmens is drawn to wittily mock the folly of life. As the ultimate resource for a better world, he has been working for years on a new imaginary world, which operates under the name Q P & S (Quality, Politics & Society) in which only the consumer comes first. Within his fictional world order he ironically seeks contact with the world of existing things. By placing his virtual world in reality, the unreal becomes intertwined with the real. The Art for Impact webshop will be live from 20 to 30 november. #UBSart #UBSphilanthropy #strategicphilanthropy #UBSOptimusFoundation #UWC #UWCartforimpact #artists #painters #fundraising #onlinefundraising #webshop #UWCio #UWCnl #art #contemporaryart #scholarships #education #PieterLemmens #BonanzaMixedMedia

Meet Jan Cremer, one of the contributing artists to the Art for Impact webshop this year. Cremer has been painting his adventurous life with words and brushes for around 65 years. In his recent works, seen at his past 2020 museum show "Noordwaarts" he returns to a lyric expressionism: seascapes that he painted the past decade in his studio in Tuscany from his memory, being on the sea as a young man. The currents works are almost abstract, blurring the edges between sand, sea, and sky, but sometimes there is a horizon visible. Cremer paints, sculpts and wrestles with his medium, mixing his own oil paint, using sand, plaster and burlap, radiating an intense energising motion. Cremer's seascapes are never calm, they are fiercely and rugged, just like the painter and his life. The Art for Impact webshop will be live from 20 to 30 november. #UBSart #UBSphilanthropy #strategicphilanthropy #UBSOptimusFoundation #UWC #UWCartforimpact #artists #painters #fundraising #onlinefundraising #webshop #UWCio #UWCnl #art #contemporaryart #scholarships #education #JanCremer #Zeegolf

Meet Peter Peereboom, one of the contributing artists to the Art for Impact webshop. Artists are seldom full-fledged photographers and painters at the same time, but this is the case for Peter Peereboom. The many aspects of his work: the points of contract between rhythm and Architecture, the human presence, the play on the seen of the hidden, although not quite complementary, succeed in giving the impression of Equilibrium (balance). The relief's photographs are sequences referring to sculptural pose on a pedestal, as well as human nudity, before a white wall an her shadows: a work rich with references. The paintings also exploit the repetitive divisions, blurred in white, where a female 'Equilibrist' tries to keep her balance: beautiful work with dealing in the end with, the artist places the women alongside coasts and nearby seas and creates inner worlds of contemplation. The place of the human being in the artistic world. The Art for Impact webshop will be live from 20 to 30 november. #UBSart #UBSphilanthropy #strategicphilanthropy #UBSOptimusFoundation #UWC #UWCartforimpact #artists #painters #fundraising #onlinefundraising #webshop #UWCio #UWCnl #art #contemporaryart #scholarships #education #PeterPeereboom #AdagioMatinale
