For me, one of the most important responsibilities for the future of the classical saxophone is playing new music. What fascinates me about this music are the unexplored avenues for the instrument, and the collaboration with composers.

 

I also want to contribute to the organizational aspects of my field. Therefore, I consciously choose a dual focus: management in the cultural sector on the one hand and giving solo and chamber music concerts on the other.

As important as playing new music is making chamber music for me. Together with saxophonist Nuno Silva, I founded the [uan] Duo, and I regularly play with symphony- and string orchestras.

 

As an orchestral musician I was playing with, amongst others, Philzuid, the, SWR Symphonieorchester and the Staatskapelle Dresden.

As a soloist I performed with orchestras and choirs such as the Symfonieorkest Flevoland, Alkmaars Symfonieorkest, the Trajectum String Orchestra Utrecht and the Zeeuws Vocaalensemble.

I played on national radio in the Netherlands and my past concerts have included performances at the World Saxophone congress and the Schostakowitsch Tage in Gohrisch.

In 2021 I released my debut album Die Fremde and in 2023 my debut album with [uan] Duo ORIGINALS.
