Public masterclass for amateurs by Annelies van Gerven, singing teacher and Lidwien Boumans, pianodocente.
Liederen zingen met je eigen pianist in een openbare masterclass onder leiding van zangdocente Annelies van Gerven en pianodocente Lidwien Boumans? Zes liedduo’s (zanger*es-pianist*e) gingen deze uitdaging aan. Ze kozen zelf hun liederen uit het klassieke repertoire. Tijdens de masterclass vertellen ze zelf welke liederen ze hebben gekozen en kun je genieten van deze openbare masterclass in het sfeervolle Torenlaan Theater.
During the break and after the masterclass, there will be the opportunity to chat over a drink.
The venue opens a quarter of an hour before the performance begins.

Annelies van Gerven / singing teacher
Annelies van Gerven studied singing at the Utrecht Conservatory. At the second International Song accompaniment Competition in 1988, she won the prize for best Dutch duo together with pianist Lidwien Boumans. For Annelies, teaching is a greater passion than being on stage herself. She teaches young and old in both musical and classical repertoire. At KunstenHuis Idea music department in Zeist, she led Het Zangtheater for almost thirty years. From September 2025, she gives private lessons for advanced singers and coaches ensembles. For her, there is nothing more fun than turning your hobby into your profession.
Lidwien Boumans / piano teacher
Lidwien Boumans studied piano at the Utrechts Conservatorium with Herman Uhlhorn and lied accompaniment with Thom Bollen. With singer Annelies van Gerven, she won the prize for the best Dutch duo at the International Song Accompaniment Competition. She took singing lessons with Michel de Kort.
Boumans was correpetitor to Meinard Kraak, her great mentor and inspiration in poetry and music. She became a sought-after lied accompanist at concerts and competitions. She devised the Song Class for amateur duos. In her own music company De Toetsenhoek, she teaches piano and coaches lied duos. She also sings self-translated Portuguese fado and her own Dutch-language work in Huis van de Weemoed.
