Christmas Family-concert
Een meeslepende tekenfilm van een jongen die een sneeuwpop maakt en avonturen met hem beleeft, of droomde hij het alleen maar…? Het Eolian Ensemble speelt bij deze film de schitterende muziek van Howard Blake, die Rolf Verbeek speciaal voor het Eolian Ensemble bewerkte. Na afloop van het concert mogen de kinderen de instrumenten uitproberen. Geschikt voor alle leeftijden.
Kinderen onder de 4 gratis!
It’s time for the Snowman Christmas Family-concert
A compelling animated film of a boy making a snowman and having adventures with him,… or did he only dream it…? The Eolian Ensemble plays Howard Blakes beautiful filmmusic, arranged by Rolf Verbeek especially for the Eolian Ensemble. After the concert the children can try the instruments. Suitable for all ages.
Children under 4 get in for free!
In deze Ted-talk (van al enige tijd geleden, maar daarom niet minder leuk! ;-)) vertelt pianiste Daria van den Bercken over haar passie voor muziek en haar passie voor muziek van Händel.
Daria speelt piano op ongebruikelijke plekken, nl in de lucht en achter een auto, en tijdens deze talk vertelt ze waarom ze dit doet..

This year the English Piano Trio Society will promote my trios in UK.
This is what Christine Talbot-Cooper wrote:
“I am delighted to welcome you as a member of the Piano Trio Society and hope to include details of the important work you are doing in our next Newsletter. I am attaching a copy of our latest Newsletter for your interest.
Please let me know when you will be in London next January and we can arrange a meeting. In the meantime I will discuss your work with our committee when we next meet and hope it will inspire them to consider an event featuring piano trios for young players.”
Masterpianist Bernard Duerksen was in the Netherlands, recently.
Two of my students, Bintang and Daniel, took part in the workshop he gave.
This has been organized by piano Suzuki teacher Janece Milos.
Thank you, dear Janece!
It was very inspiring for my students.
From one of them, Daniel, I have two videos made by Jana Neplechovitsj.

Via een bevriende mede-componist (René Samson) ben ik in contact gekomen met de Engelse Piano Trio Society.
Piano Trio Society website
Newsletter – SUMMER 2016
Hun doel is onder meer het promoten van het spelen van piano trio’s.
Dit is wat de secretaris van de vereniging, Christine Talbot-Cooper schreef naar René toen ze hoorde over mijn trio’s voor jonge spelers:
“.. We had a discussion a couple of years ago about the lack of piano trio music suitable for early learners so I am sure this will be of interest. Would you be kind enough to ask Heleen to contact me? I would suggest she becomes a member of the Piano Trio Society so I can offer regular features about her work in our Newsletters and would be pleased to offer her a special membership deal!”
Het lijkt me dat de Piano Trio Society en ik hetzelfde doel hebben.
Try-out Waves for six hands on the 1st of July 2016 in the homestudio of Janece Milos. Composed by Heleen Verleur for students, but also for piano profs the rhythms are quite challenging! 😉
