In May 2025 I was so very lucky! In the first week I got to be part of the internationally acclaimed Mahler Festival, organised by the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. As part of the Dutch Radio Choir I sang in the performances of Mahler 2 and 3 with conductors Fabio Luisi and Iván Fischer. As Mahler is one of my favourite composers of all time this was an experience I’ll never forget!

Later on in May I had the greatest time singing with brass orchestra OBK Bennekom, with the farewell concert of conductor Dick Bolt. We curated a program with his favourites and I not only sang music by Puccini and Lehár, we also programmed the iconic Barcelona with my very own Freddie Mercury, Marten Verheij!
