Over the moon to finally be able to share that after 4 months and 3 audition rounds I’ve been chosen as the new violist for Musikk i Nordland’s MiN ensemble, based in Nordland (Norway)! A big adventure ahead, moving to Narvik in a few months and playing concerts all throughout the Nordland region, but I couldn’t be more excited to embark on this journey and play chamber music with wonderful people! Can’t wait to explore the gorgeous region around the Arctic circle, see lots of snow and most of all play a broad range of music going from solo and duo up to piano quintet!

Recap of a fantastic September and start of October filled with a lot of Back to Bach. Some pictures from my preview concert for Bachfestival Dordrecht, the Wandelconcerten for Goede Rede Concerten Almere, Back to Bach recitals in Maastricht, Averbode and Diest!
Looking forward to a busy but exciting November! Starting with some chamber music, classics like Schubert’s famous C major String Quintet, Schumann’s fabulous Piano Quintet and Clara Schumann’s Piano Concerto No.7 (with String Quintet accompaniment) during the ‘Triple SCH’ Side-by Side project at the Davidsbundler Academy with the final concert on November 4th at 7.30pm, followed by another Back to Bach on November 12th at 11.30am for Muziek Klassiek Gulpen to finish the month with rehearsals and concerts with the ‘Four Seasons Revisited’ programme with Ataneres Ensemble!

I’d like to warmly invite you to come and join me for my final master recital on May 19th, 2023 at 5pm in the Conservatoriumzaal of Amare in The Hague! Free entrance! It would be wonderful to see you there!
What is music to life? What is life to music? What stories sound in one’s last breath?
This programme marks the end of an era. For me, the end of my master studies. This programme stands for endings, and paying homage to them. A memento mori.
Which marks, which scars have stood the test of time and made their mark on their life’s work? Uncovering the enigmas behind the person, unveiling them in their rawest human emotion.
A programme representing the music of a life, in many shapes and forms, with a breathtaking retrospective narrative full of emotion and insights. May I be the storyteller that guides you through?

Excited to have been invited to take part in the Møn Sommerkoncert Masterclass & Festival Ensemble in Denmark this upcoming July! Looking forward to a week full of chamber music, masterclasses, rehearsal, performing and simply the joy of making music!

Absolutely over the moon to have finished my master research and its presentation today with a mark of 9,7! ✨
Many thanks to everyone who supported me during the process of writing and creating! An enormously satisfying experience (and amount of work) written over the past two years of my studies, which is also strongly connected to the aspect of performing the repertoire! The programme I created in connection to this research is a solo viola recital with works by Bach, Hindemith and Reger and I’d like to warmly invite you to attend any of the concerts mentioned below to experience it! For anyone interested in the research, and how I uncover the enigma of Bach as inspiration for Hindemith, and in concert translate this into metaphors, the research will be published on the website of the Research Catalogue sometime during the upcoming months.
