I can’t believe it’s been so long since I last wrote, but life has been a whirlwind. Been busy with all kinds of projects, but a lot with my dear colleagues in The String Soloists. We have a packed 2017-2018 concert season, as well as the release of our second album with Lisa Jacobs in October. I recently also got the wild experience of recording a live pop album in the famous Amsterdam Concertgebouw with Ellen ten Damme (in her Magpie Orchestra). The album “Paris” can be expected in stores in September, I can’t wait! In the last stretch before summer holidays but I still have a busy month and a bit ahead of me with some really cool concerts with Sinfonia Rotterdam as well as my first ever time at the North Sea Jazz Festival, reuniting with Steve Coleman and his band for an encore performance of Synovial Joints. Lots of music making in the weeks ahead!
