Singing yourself on the festival stage accompanied by a professional pianist? Six singers*esses took up this challenge and chose two songs that fit the festival theme The future of music - Music of the future and in which concepts such as 'future' and 'time' play a role. They may be songs about time passing, about dreams of the future, or songs by composers*es who had no or little future prospects. They died young, were women or homosexuals or had to flee the ruling regime.

Tijdens het Open Podium vertellen de zangers welke twee liederen ze hebben gekozen en brengen ze die tot klinken met Heleen Vegter aan de piano.

biography

Heleen Vegter / piano
After her piano principal study with Frank van de Laar - at the ArtEZ Conservatoire - the song continued to hold a special attraction for Heleen Vegter. She took master classes with Elly Ameling, Robert Holl and Julius Drake, among others. As Britten-Pears Young Artist, she worked with Angelika Kirchschlager, Anne Sofie von Otter and Kristian Bezuidenhout, among others. She has been heard at international festivals and performed in Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ and the Concertgebouw, among others.
Vegter is initiator and artistic director of Stichting Leading Lied, which aims to make classical song accessible to a wider audience. Outside her well-filled concert schedule, she teaches piano in her private practice in Arnhem and is co-organiser and board member of the national graded examinations of the European Piano Teachers Association (EPTA).
