about


I am a classical and crossover oboist performing internationally. My work has taken me to 24 countries across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

Based in Italy and originally from The Netherlands, I work across concert halls, touring productions and curated events, combining a strong classical foundation with contemporary and cross-genre formats.

I am particularly drawn to projects that expand the role of the oboe beyond traditional contexts, integrating visual elements, modern repertoire and collaborative performance settings.

Alongside my performance career, I teach and work with motivated students and professionals, focusing on technical precision, musical depth and artistic individuality.
