Music

Rêverie

In 1996 I started composing music. The first serious composition, Rêverie is classical music for piano and violin.

Non-classic compositions came later. For example, Afscheid (Dutch for goodbye) was written in cooperation with my mother for the passing of a loved one and Insecurity was composed after a personal relationship.

La Chasse Naturelle

In 2003 I produced La Chasse Naturelle. This piece for piano combines classical music with jazz. A recording can be downloaded as mp3. I recorded and processed La Chasse Naturelle myself by using a Yamaha P-80 digital piano. Also the score can be downloaded.

Musicals
A lot of my activities in music involves accompaniment other musicians, mainly singers. As of 1999, I am active in the world of musicals. As founder and chairman of the theaterorkest.nl foundation (Stichting theaterorkest.nl in Dutch, www.theaterorkest.nl), I have performed and organized a large variety of musical and theater productions throughout the region. It all started with the fantastic musical Children of Eden, written by Stephen Schwartz. Since, I appeared as pianist in 20 musicals and started conducting from 2010. I also played percussion in various musicals. I worked with various theater companies, amongst others Zpinazie (www.zpinazie.nl), Greg and Baud (www.greg-baud.nl), Waanzin (www.waanzintheaterproducties.nl), Treatief (www.treatief.nl), Storytellers (www.storytellers.nl).

Next to musicals I have been musical leader for the music theater shows of Reflectie (www.reflectie-zoetermeer.nl) from 2000 until 2008. For Reflectie, I have composed and arranged music for the shows Poeh poeh o ja, Dejavu, Hebbes and De Zolder. In those shows we performed the music in different arrangements and theaters. Furthermore, I was the initiator of the Musicalday, of which can be found more on the site www.musicalday.nl. It was organized three times between 2009 and 2013 a full day in Zoetermeer with highlights from musicals, performed by 100+ live musicians and singers.
