15 September 2018, 10-17, Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ, Amsterdam: Introductie Barokimprovisatie Stichting Huismuziek 

For everybody who loves music: I’ll teach you to improvise using the smallest of steps and fun assignments. We start with one note, so nobody needs to have any prior experience. At the same time, all these assignments can be done at any level; I still do them myself too!

In the baroque era there was a variety of types of improvisation: on a ground, as a prelude, imitating each other in a canon and more! We will get a taste of all these types in a playful manner.
A=440Hz! Open to all instruments, from mouth organ to bass buitar

11-18 Augustus 2019, Apollo Summer academy in the Karmelklooster in Drachten

Chamber music, recorder consort, Beethoven orchestra and individual sessions (recorder, baroque oboe, improvisation, interpretation of early music and more) Course for advanced amateurs and semi-professionals.

This course provides a carefree and inspiring environment to immerse yourself into a week of music. Chamber music with amazing coaches like Eric Hoeprich, Catherine Manson and David Rabinovich (and me).

The recorder consort will focus on renaissance music and Beethoven: how motives were used in the different periods and how in my eyes there is some similarity.

N.b.: there is an audition
