Vote now for your favourite composer for my next concert series!
The 'Helemaal (gek op) Bach' series this year in the Lutherse Kerk in Groningen is a big success. 'Helemaal gek op' roughly means 'completely crazy about'. For the next season I would like to focus on a different composer and YOU, the audience can vote for who this is...

About my cello
Let me start by underlining I wouldn't be anywhere as a musician without my instrument. This seems like a basic need, but a lot of musicians can't afford an instrument that would suit their level of playing. The incredible Nationaal Muziekinstrumenten Fonds (NMF)...
TV Performance Podium Witteman

Another souvenir from last summer: *Schubert in the park*. My dear friend @coralinegroen curated this project for the @muziekzomer, her idea was to present (one of) the greatest chamber music piece every written, the string quintet by Schubert, in public places. The plan was in parks but then the heatwave happened and we ended up in all kinds of interesting places like the library, a care home and a 11th century chapel. Such an honour playing with these incredible musicians: @marlenedijkstra

My favourite cello concerto!😊 3 Years ago I performed the Schumann concerto with the Simon Bolivar Orchestra in Caracas and @jesuseuzcategui , an unforgettable experience. This snippet is one of many positive memories of that trip and I'm happy to share it with you.

Today in @dagbladvanhetnoorden about my new concert series with @stichting_meerbach in the @luthersekerk Groningen! Thank you so much for the lovely interview, Job van Schaik, I had such a good time talking with you. It makes me emotional to see this tribute to my grandfather on paper, but I know he would be proud.

How lovely to have an E-string as a cellist! Snippet from Courante of 6th Bach Suite.
Two years ago I had the chance the record some Bach and newly commissioned pieces on this incredible 1600 Amati cello piccolo, the link to the video (produced by @rcmlondon ) is in my bio. I'll be posting more snippets in the upcoming weeks so stay tuned!
This season I'll be performing the complete cycle of Bach Suites and the this 'New Suite' again in my own series called 'Helemaal (gek op) Bach, tickets for this are in my bio too.
Photo by Adam Ferguson, thanks to @florianleonhard & @museodelviolino for lending me this unique and beautiful instrument.
