General Information

The Roder Jongens Koor (RJK, or Roden Boys’ Choir) was founded in 1985 in the small town of Roden in the north of the Netherlands by choirmaster Bouwe Dijkstra. His main aim was to form a boys’ choir in the English style, featuring English choral music in its broadest sense. The RJK is renowned for its consistently English choral style, not only in terms of its size and vocal range, but also in the attention it gives to the vocal quality of individual boys and young men. The RJK employs in every respect the musical approach that has led to the high standards for which   English boys’ choirs are so famous.
