What do I like to listen to? 

I love listening to all of Bruckner's symphonies (my grandfather played a lot of Bruckner and I loved that) but Richard Strauss' works are also high on the listening list, the highlight being 'Don Quixote'. In it all emotions come together and I have had the opportunity to play this piece with orchestra several times already, it remains a great experience to perform together every time. What should not be missing from my list is Dvorák's Cello Concerto. Especially the performance by Mstislav Rostropovich is wonderful. During my studies I had the opportunity to have yearly lessons from him. Not only a great cellist, but also a fine human being.

Besides playing the romantic-classical works and operas, I really like the fact that our orchestra also makes productions for every person from The Hague, as we recently did with DI-RECT and in the past, for example, with Paul van Vliet and Karin Bloemen.
