Open Recorder Days Amsterdam

Together with colleagues I organise a biannual recorder event. Open Recorder Days Amsterdam is the biggest recorder festival in Europe, including a competition for amateurs and preprofessional from all over the world.

Teacher

I am a principal subject teacher of recorder at the Amsterdam Conservatoire's Bachelor and Master degrees, and theJunior Department. On top of that I am teaching all aspects of renaissance consortplaying to the recorder students as part of The Royal Wind Music Academy. Organisations including the Birmingham Conservatoire, Mozarteum Salzburg, Hochschüle für Musik Nürnberg, ERTA Nederland, ERTA Iberia, Blokfluitdagen Mechelen, Huismuziek Nederland, Kaliber Kunstenschool, Muziekschoool Venray en Muziekatelier Alkmaar have invited me for workshops and masterclasses.

Duo Havinga Groenleer

Together with Matthias havinga I wish to explore the possibilities combining numerous recorders with different keyboard instruments, including the organ, harpsichord and piano. We ambition innovative and striking concepts performing unusual repertoire for both instruments. Disregarding the most common compositions, where the keyboard instruments function merely as accompaniment, we push the boundaries set by our combination of instruments. Within our concert programmes, the various style periods are juxtaposed in an attractive way.

Music educator Het Koninklijk Concertgebouw (2010-2020)

A musicteacher at the educational section of The Royal Amsterdam Concertgebouw, I preserve quality in musiceducation at primary schools in The Netherlands. I am also involved with the marvellous interactive concerts and productions that The Royal Concertgebouw develops for children, preparing young audiences, creating enthusiasm and understanding for classical music.
