Die Verdammte Spielerei is a group of musicians who perform a parody of the classical form of a brass band. In this form they perform walking orchestras, theater shows and classical concerts.

The Verdammte Spielerei consists of

Stefaan De Winter (word and song)
Roeland Vanhoorne (soprano sax & clarinet)
Pieterjan Vandaele (alto sax)
Bjorn Verschoore (tenor sax & clarinet)
Thomas Van Gelder (baritone sax & bass clarinet)
Ruben Cooman (percussion).


The company has written three theater performances: Een dag met Stefaan (2015), Nachtvorst (2017) and Sinjorie De Spielerei. In 2019 they created the children's performance Onnozelaars together with the Flanders Symphony Orchestra. In addition, they also perform as a walking orchestra at events such as Pukkelpop, Dranouter and the Gentse Feesten. Die Verdammte Spielerei also performs classical concerts under Pakske Klassiek. Fellow musicians are hereby invited for a musical evening in a historic building (eg St Bavo's Cathedral in Ghent). In 2019 they took to the track with the performance Spielerei Kaept Kaempfert. An evening about the music and personality of Bert Kaempfert.
