Sing Your Song is a unique project for Stichtse Vrije School students with Music as their final exam subject. Led by Anne-Maartje Lemereis (Composer of the Netherlands) and colleague Remy Alexander they learned to compose in workshops on basic technique, lyrics, voice types and musical notation. They wrote their song, received feedback and rehearsed its performance. On Sunday afternoon 25 May, they will sing their self-composed songs led by music teacher David Mulder in the Small Hall of the Evangelical Brethren Church.

In 2018, he won the Tera de Marez Oyens prize during the Gaudeamus Music Week. He writes acoustic works and enjoys making combinations of acoustic ensembles and players, and electronic means.
