Pepusch' Venus & Adonis

Since we are not in Warsaw with the Orchestra of the 18th Century this year, I can finally play in the Utrecht Early Music festival! I will join the "Harmonious Society of Tickle Fiddle Gentlemen" in a performance of the rarely heard opera Venus and Adonis by Pepusch.

Orchestra of the 18th Century Reunion!

After one and a half years of separation, we can finally reunite with the full Orchestra of the 18th Century, winds and strings all together! When the pandemic hit us, we were sent home in the middle of our Schumann rehearsal with pianist Alexander Melnikov. I just told everyone I was pregnant. Now, the baby is already 10 months old and we will meet at the same place where we left each other in tears, with Alexander Melnikov! I'm sure this project is going to ber very special, with music by good old Mozart, Haydn and Mendelssohn on our stands. I can't wait for the amazing sound of the orchestra tuning, an upbeat for (hopefully) a season like never before!

Thomascantor x4
A new Counterpoints CD recording

The year 2020 has been quite an intense one for our chamber music group The Counterpoints. Our recorder player Thomas moved to Switzerland, and all our musical plans for this season had to be thrown into the garbage bin for obvious reasons. But thanks to Thomas who won the ClassicNL Huiskamerchallenge, we will gather again in August to record our next cd! This time, we will go "XL" and expand our chamber music group into a small orchestra. Thomas Triesshijn will be the star soloist in 4 recorder concertos by composers who applied for the position of Thomascantor in Leipzig. These 4 pieces by Fasch, Graupner, Telemann and Bach himself, scetch a very interesting picture of the 18th century in in this city. The cd will be out in the beginning of 2022 and we're working hard on a release tour in February!

2 concerts in "Messias Cycle" at Bachfest Leipzig

I can hardly believe it's true, but in June I will be travelling again! It will be a bit of a nostalgic trip for me, because we are going to perform in Leipzig, where I studied years ago. On top of that, I'll be in good company with no-one less than Ton Koopman and his Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and choir. We will play two concerts in the "Messias Cycle", a series inspired by the life of Jesus. A number of cantatas as well as the famous oratorios and the Matthew Passion will be framed by readings, creating a new narrative with Bach's music. Even the former Pope is part of it! Can't wait!

ABO Matthew Passion
live on TV (NPO2)

In the past years it has been such a special tradition to play Bach's Matthew Passion in the weeks before Easter. For me, this always meant a very intense period of rehearsing and touring, with the release of Easter holidays after that. But now, for the second year in row almost all passion concerts have been canceled. The fasting period before Easter became literally silent... So... how lucky am I to join a TV recording of the Matthew Passion with the one and only Ton Koopman! It will be broadcasted on Dutch NPO 2 on Palm Sunday.

"Fragile Present" in Sunny Court

I'm very happy that this project is finally happening! It is incredibly dear to me to have been working with some amazing artists from my own neighbourhood, culminating in four performances in the city park.

The performing arts are more FRAGILE than ever. What our past used to be, cannot be our future. As performers and audience, we are forced to live in the PRESENT.

Two violinists, a dancer and a choreographer from the Regentessekwartier made a performance called “Fragile Present”, inspired by the special situation we live in now. The decor will be the intimate atmosphere of city garden Sunny Court, a silent oasis in our hectic world. Inspired by this small park under the trees, by means of music, dance and poetry we will share a moment of our art with you all.

A present for you!

got the Cultuurmakers Subsidy from the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds!! Shows will be up from 30 July - 1 August in Sunny Court City Park The Hague. It all started just with busking violin duo's with my colleague Sophie Wedell in the local park...
Then a beautiful collaboration grew with artists from our neighbourhood, which is now almost ready to be shown to our local audiences. I'm so happy to work with Sophie Wedell, Cora Bos-Kroese (choreography) and Alice Godfrey (dance) on this interdisciplinary adventure, reflecting upon the fragility of our presence as artists in society in these crazy times.

The Corona Crisis
At home without concerts

Seems like this "upcoming section" is pretty much empty! I would have hoped to have presented some 20 more concerts till the end of the summer, but due to the Corona crisis, basically all work has been cancelled and I'm at home, unemployed... It is a very strange period, that forces us to re-think our lives as musicians, but also as citizens of this world.

Every day I sit at this little bench in our bay window, overlooking the buzz at the busy street in front of our house. Cars making the highest speed they can with a lot of noise, people walking their dogs, parking their bikes, loaded with plastic bags from Albert Heijn, some just strolling around with their kids, on their way to somewhere or probably nowhere.

It’s strange to realize that a lot of our movements seem to be without purpose now. We don’t go to work, we’re not allowed to visit our friends or families, some of us are even not allowed to go out of their houses for anything else but groceries. How do we find meaning in what we do, while all solid ground under our feet seems to have shifted? What are we, what defines us, when all our daily routines fall away?

A quote from philosopher and poet Friedrich Hölderlin really inspires me these days. He says: "Was wir sind, ist nichts, was wir suchen, ist alles". So what I'm trying now, is to "look for" something everyday. Some days it is just smile at someones face or a sunbeam through the window, other days I try to focus on making stuff with my hands, visiting the pottery studio or baking a cake and sharing it with friends that live nearby. Practicing Bach's chaccona. And sometimes it is about finding out that the meaning of things is just in "being there" and learning to do nothing...

Stay hopeful and healthy!
I hope to be able to inform you about future concerts again soon...

Under the title "Lucie in the monastery" we will explore music that was written by Antonio Vivaldi for the girls in the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice. In this monastery, orphaned girls got a musical education. They became very famous and travelled around Europe. However, they had to perform behind a wooden screen in order not to distract the audience with more 'earthly' feelings...

"Sfessania" @ Delft Fringe Festival

One of the things on my bucket list for 2019, was to start thinking about ways to connect music from the past with contemporary culture. So I'm super excited that exactly halfway the year, we'll present "Sfessania" to the audience at Delft Fringe Festival! The concept for this performance was inspired by the series of paintings about "the dances called Sfessania", by the French painter Jacques Callot. It's ambiguous what these paintings are exactly about. They depict figures from the Italian Commedia dell'Arte, but the title suggests that it is all about something else... Is it about the girl Lucia, who danced and sang to make people rise from death again? "Sfessania" draws upon a strong parallel with the Commedia dell'Arte structure. We will use a framework of existing (old) music, paired with improvisation and live electronics, questioning the effects of music on the human condition. Can it cure us? Or drive us to madness? Looking forward a lot to seeing you at one of the shows!

Since last season, I have the pleasure to play on a beautiful Jacobs violin from the collection of the Dutch National Instrument Foundation (NMF). This great organisation does not only give instruments on loan, but also organises a festival weekend in collaboration with Natuurmonumenten (the national trust for nature and wildlife). During this weekend, around 70 concerts will take place in unique and beautifull places surrounded by nature. Together with lute player David Mackor, I will perform a programme that is exploring the limits of the violin repertoire in the early 17th century. You can expect virtuosic sonatas, meditative madrigals and swinging dance movements. Come join us at the Oude Buisse Heide, where the famous writer-couple Roland-Holst once received their guests! After the concert, you can join the forester for a walk in the park!

Nederlandse Bachvereniging Matthew Passion

It has almost become a tradition for me to play in the Matthew Passion project by the Nederlandse Bachvereniging. Each year, it is a very tiring, but unforgettable tour, bringing Bach's best known masterpiece to the entire country. This year is quite special, since we will perform with the well known Belgian conductor Philippe Herreweghe! It has been a long time dream to play with him, which already happened in the side-by-side project last year. But now we will get to Herreweghes best repertoire, Bach!

Reflective Conservatoire Conference London, February 2018

Through my work at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague, I got the opportunity to spend four days in the amazing city of London! Of course not just for a holiday, but to visit the Reflective Conservatoire Conference, curated by former lector Helena Gaunt. I was very happy to go since this year’s theme, “artists as citizens” is one of my biggest interests and concerns. How can I be relevant in this society as a classical musician? How can we get in touch with new audiences and reach out to people in need? Are we not stuck in the past? Does conservatoire education prepare students properly for the future that awaits them? Of course, I did not find all the answers to these big questions in the conference, but I did gain some new insights and left London with new inspiration!
Naturally, the central question to the conference was how artists can engage with society and how society can value the arts. The first keynote addressed exactly this topic by looking into a report by the Arts and Humanities Council, titled “Understanding the value of arts and culture”. Briefly summarized, the report said that it is hard to find value of the arts just in economic parameters, but that we should rather look at its influence on health and social wellbeing, on the regeneration of neighbourhoods and the social capital it encompasses. I will definitely have a further look at the report!
One of the other big topics for discussion was centred around the division between art and craft and how both are represented in conservatoire education. Historically, musicians were educated as craftsmen who were extremely skilled in their instruments. Nowadays, it is not enough to just be able to play the violin at a high level, but many additional skills are needed. Musicians need to stand out and make their own way in their careers and into society. The conference showed many interesting examples of alumni, ensembles and new businesses that are very successful in doing so. Not surprisingly, many of them renewed their practice by implementing improvisation (like the Norwegian Wind Ensemble with their project “Real Time Music”). Others found very interesting ways of presenting classical music in a new context and to new audiences (for example the project Song in the City). It was very inspiring to see how all these musicians found themselves a strong artistic identity, a vision in which they believed and an artistic product that they were proud of!
Another topic that recurred throughout the conference was diversity. How can we make the teacher as well as the student body in higher arts education more representative for the extremely diverse societies we live in? Someone who really strives to making art available for everyone and to unite people through art is Helen Marriage. With her production company Artichoke, she makes the most unthinkable art installations happen in the most unexpected places. Their next upcoming event is an enormous procession with self-made banners through the entire country of England, to celebrate one hundred years of vote for women! To my great regret I missed her keynote, but to compensate for that I googled her and came across this great video of her work. Have a look at it, she is such an inspiring woman!

NOTE

In memory of Fred Lindeman

When I just started playing Baroque Violin a few years ago, I didn’t realise that gut E strings don’t last that long. Very soon my only two strings broke and didn’t have any left before a concert. So I needed strings and I needed them directly! One of the very few luthiers that had gut strings on stock at that moment, was mr. Fred Lindeman. When I got to his workshop in Amsterdam Zuid, I found a handwritten sheet on the door saying: “please be patient, I have difficulties walking” (it reminded me how often I am hurried, and not even willing to wait for the person next in line at the supermarket!). At that very moment, I didn’t realise that mr. Lindeman was already in his eighties and that I was about to enter the house of a legendary luthier, that accompanied the first steps of the early music pioneers and restored many famous violins to their original baroque condition (including the NMF violin that I was playing at the time). That day, I left the workshop not only with a pile of new strings and good advices, but also with some great stories that Fred told me about life in Amsterdam, about the first steps towards a new approach of baroque music, and how he gained his knowledge about old violins by measuring and investigating instruments in every possible museum around the world. Every next time I needed strings, I called Fred and he would send me a handwritten envelope with the strings neatly wrapped and an invoice to his Postbank (now ING) account. Last December, I called him again and I noticed that this time it took him longer than normal to get what I said. I ordered some strings, but also his two books “The rebirth of the Baroque Violin” (about the development of restoring old instruments) and “Tussen Grond- en Boventonen” (about influencing the sound of a violin). As always, the package arrived by post a few days after. And just a week after that, I read the news that Fred passed away. I’m very sad that ordering strings will not anymore be accompanied by remarkable stories about Dutch musical life anymore, and that I’ll have to turn to the internet. At the same time, I’m so happy that I have had the chance to meet him, and that his memory is kept alive in his books, that I would advise anyone (with or without an interest in violins) to read!

A short introduction to the Viola d'Amore

In the st. John Passion Tour with De Nederlandse Bachvereniging, I will play the Viola d'Amore solo. My first encounter with this instrument was last year, when I performed Bach's Cantata 152. I had only two weeks to practice and get my fingers on the right place at 7 instead of 4 strings... Quite a challenge! Let me introduce you shortly to this curious instrument. Its body resembles a Viola da Gamba, but underneath its 6 or 7 strings we find the same amount of resonating strings. The sound holes have the shape of a flaming sword, and the scroll is often decorated with a blindfolded head of cupid (love is blind!). Some people argue that the Viola d’Amore originates in the Middle-East, where instruments with sympathetic strings had been in use for many centuries. The sound holes lend support to this theory, the flaming sword being the symbol of Islam. Although the d’Amore never became as popular as the other members of the string family, composers from the 17^th century till today have been attracted to write for it, in search of a discerning and sweet string colour. Even Prokoviev’s ballet Romeo and Juliet and Puccini’s opera La Bohème have a part for a Viola ‘d Amore!
