I am honoured to have been asked to be on the jury for the upcoming Open Recorder Days Amsterdam. Be sure to visit their website and lend your support to their great cause financially, if you can!

Two films which show a glimpse of me :)

A while back I worked with wonderful and inspiring students in Cambridge on some contemporary recorder repertoire. We looked into improvisation, techniques and then keyed in to Shinohara’s Fragmente and Linde’s Music for a Bird specifically.
Students performed their own compositions as well as a group improvisation. Get in touch with me if you are interested in a workshop on improvisation, contemporary music, ensemble playing and more!

In 2010 I had the great pleasure of being part of the European Union Baroque Orchestra. We recorded some beautiful works by Handel with the amazing soprano Maria Keohane led by Lars Ulrik Mortensen!

Recently the CD was released:

Recently I have been working on two CD-recordings with BON and with Klaartje van Veldhoven. The former includes Vivaldi’s oboe solo in the Gloria in D and the latter includes several wonderful arias by J. S. Bach for soprano, oboe and strings.

BON – Musica Religiosa

Klaartje van Veldhoven – Bach arias with baroque ensemble and accordeon
