Kick-off of the new season 🚀

After a well-deserved break in August, I’m thrilled to dive back into the world of music, and it promises to be an exciting journey ahead!

This month, I have the privilege of joining a masterclass in the enchanting city of Lübeck, delving into the mesmerizing compositions of 17th-century Hanseatic composers with the talented Hanse Ensemble. This repertoire holds a special place in my heart, and I’m honored to be selected for this week of intensive exploration. We’ll be unraveling the intricate melodies of Weckmann, Tunder Förster, Coler, Jacobi, Vierdanck, and Bernhard. For a taste of my all-time favorite genre, have a listen to the soundbite below.

But that’s not all! I’ll also be performing one of my cherished Bach cantatas, BWV 150, in the Kloosterkerk in Den Haag. The anticipation is building, and I can’t wait to share this beautiful piece with you. For more details about this performance, feel free to check my calendar.

As the month draws to a close, my excitement (and nerves!) are at an all-time high as I prepare to participate in the prestigious Concours Corneille in Rouen, France. Being selected is an incredible honor, and I’m certain that it will be an invaluable learning experience. This competition is not only an opportunity to have feedback on my interpretations but also a chance to connect with fellow musicians who share the same passion. While German Baroque has always held a special place in my heart, I’m relishing the opportunity to immerse myself in the captivating arias of French Baroque for the first live round and, hopefully, other rounds as well.

The season kick-off is filled with anticipation, passion, and the joy of making music. I can’t wait to share these musical adventures with all of you, and I hope you’ll join me on this exciting journey! 🎶🌟
