You may remember me getting excited about this last winter before its postponement... I'm extremely happy that I still have an opportunity to give this intimate performance and loop workshop next Saturday 13th December in Salisbury 🥰

We will be joined by stunning musician and fire witch Laura Daligan in the gorgeous setting of Woodford Village Hall ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I’m still trying to take in everything that happened on Saturday. It’s taken me til now to even be able to start to piece it all together. The culmination of a crazy plan that began 18 months ago, countless hours, so many people and an unimaginable amount of love, enthusiasm and passion from everyone involved, to bring this idea to the outstanding reality that it became on Saturday night.

It is the BIGGEST HONOUR to be commissioned to write ‘Enschede’ the piece to celebrate 700 years of this beautiful city that is my second home. It has been such a joy to dive into the city’s history, culture, milestones, and landmark to create this work.

Hearing the AMAAAAAZING Wilmink Project Orkest perform my music with such passion, heart and absolute grace was overwhelming in the most beautiful way and something I'll never forget. It felt epic - almost unreal - to experience something I’d worked on and only imagined as a composer for so long. I feel so so lucky.

My wonderful soloists Maria, LEF, Lucie and Tom each brought their individual spirits, souls and fire to the pieces I wrote for them. Standing on stage with them was a true honour, it always is, and I’ll never forget their performances in this incredible concert.

Jos conducted with his customary brilliance, such depth and sensitivity, guiding the whole evening beautifully. Our FOH heroes Raymond Tabak and Lex van Diepen were extraordinary, and Zis Ankone’s light show turned the entire space into pure magic. I’m blessed to create and work with people like this.

To the incredible in-house team at Wilminktheater, to Simone and Gerard, and to Ellen for all the orchestral management - thank you with my whole heart.

Many of you met Eila and Roos on merch - they had a lovely time chatting with you all!

And finally, the biggest thank you: to everyone who came, listened, breathed with us, and became part of this moment. Having you there with us, made it a night I will cherish for all time ❤️

Andi Wiemann and Philipp Molin have captured the whole evening with their multiple cameras and we’ll have a beautiful film of this night for you in due course. Thank you JacQue Photography for the beautiful concert photos 💖 ... See MoreSee Less
