This was one of the most fun projects I’ve been pa This was one of the most fun projects I’ve been part of in recent years!

Having the chance to work on highlights from all these different operas with such an incredible ensemble was a memory I’ll cherish for a long time.

PROJECT 23 is yet another demonstration of the spectacular results that can be achieved when we come together to share music and passion — what becomes possible when we spend our energy bringing one another closer instead of searching for differences.

Thank you to everyone who made this amazing project possible!
Already looking forward to the next edition!

It’s a wrap! Yesterday marked the final concert of It’s a wrap!
Yesterday marked the final concert of a series of nine performances of the truly unique production Cantigas — an artistic journey through time, when borders did not divide people and hearts were closer than ever.

It was an absolute pleasure to be part of this gorgeous project and to collaborate with the extraordinary singers of @cappellaamsterdam , the talented musicians of @amsterdam_andalusian_orchestra , and the dazzling storytelling of @sahandstoryteller .

Thank you for this memorable journey — YOU ROCK!!!

What a pleasure it was to be part of such a specta What a pleasure it was to be part of such a spectacular production, this time with the one and only Danish National Symphony Orchestra( @drsymfoniorkestret )! Truly the stuff of dreams!

It was a masterclass in creative agency and artistry by these amazing musicians of the orchestra and @antonyhermus .

An exciting programme — from Haydn’s Symphony No. 22 to The Ring Without Words by Wagner (arr. Henk de Vlieger), and Ligeti’s mind-blowing Mysteries of the Macabre for soprano and orchestra, performed with passion and drama by @Eir Inderhaug.

What a feast! Feeling grateful and inspired after meeting so many wonderful musicians and making friends for life.

Now time to get ready for next week — back in Denmark!

Looking back at 2025, I can only say how humbling Looking back at 2025, I can only say how humbling it is to have the life I am allowed to live.

It was a year full of personal and professional milestones — finally taking steps I never managed or dared to take before. 2025 changed me and my perspective for the better.

I was honored to share the stage throughout the year with hundreds of fabulous musicians who poured their hearts into working together. I am deeply grateful to each one of you — you truly make a difference in the world.

None of this would have been possible without the support of so many wonderful people, friends, and family whom I am privileged to have around me. Thank you for making this year so memorable. I’m looking forward to the next one with even more enthusiasm!

Finally having a moment to look back at the past few months and share what I’ve been up to. So much fun and joy were hiding behind so many challenges in the last four months!

What a wonderful experience it was to be in Szeged, sharing the stage with the Hungarian National Orchestra Szeged shortly and meeting so many wonderful fellow conductors and the outstanding jury.
Coffee, talking about music, life, arts, and making friends for years to be!

Is it obvious I had lots of fun? 😅

This season, I’ll once again have the chance to wo This season, I’ll once again have the chance to work with some of my favorite musicians at @cappellaamsterdam and @amsterdam_andalusian_orchestra on a tour of nine concerts across the Netherlands.

The project is a revival of a successful collaboration I was part of two years ago, as guest music director alongside @leonardevers. 
Together, we’re exploring the Cantigas de Santa Maria from a fresh perspective: what happens if we step outside the classical musicological safety net and reimagine these works together with Andalusian musicians, bringing their own unique way if music making?

Find out more on the websites of the choir and orchestra — and catch us in April 2026!

I had such an inspiring time at the @allegrafestival and the conducting masterclass with none other than @schlaefli.conducting .
It was a privilege to make music with the fabulous musicians of the Allegra Festival Orchestra, led by @vesselindemirev and to meet so many talented conductor colleagues.

A huge thank-you to the wonderful musicians of the orchestra, and to Petar for the fantastic organization and warm hospitality. 🙏✨

I will cherish memories of this week!

This was truly a highlight of last season! I had the joy of sharing the stage once again with my partner in crime @di.pivakey in a memorable performance of Beethoven’s Second Piano Concerto and a sublime Rondo à la Krakowiak by Chopin — all brought to life with world-class musicianship. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What an honor to be a small part of your master’s recital, leading to an outstanding graduation! 🍾 So proud of you 🙌🏼

A huge shout-out as well to my stunning musicians at SYMCO! I’m proud of how far the orchestra has come — and how it keeps evolving day by day. Exciting programs are coming next season 😍🔥

A year and a half after an unforgettable Grieg Pia A year and a half after an unforgettable Grieg Piano Concerto, I’m thrilled to share the stage once again with one of the most talented musicians I know — @di.pivakey (yes, I might be biased 😉).

This time, we’re diving into a sparkling and rarely performed program: Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 2, Chopin’s dance-filled Rondo à la Krakowiak, and orchestral favorites like the Carmen Suite No. 2 and Rossini’s Barber of Seville Overture. All together with the fantastic musicians of SYMCO!!!

Rehearsals are already in full swing, and it’s shaping up to be another unforgettable night of stunning music.

🎉 Exciting news — my new website is now live! → li 🎉 Exciting news — my new website is now live! → link in the bio 

After months of development, I’m very happy to finally share my new website with you.
It reflects the professional and artistic journey I’ve taken over the past two years — from the evolution of the @brabant_chamber_orchestra (BCO), as well as my new collaborations and a clearer artistic direction.

The website brings together the different aspects of my work as a composer, conductor, and artistic director — sometimes combined, sometimes presented individually. It offers a full view of my current projects and artistic vision.

These developments have been made possible thanks to the generous support and guidance I’ve received from my mentors and coaches. From profiling sessions with @greenroomcreatives , to coaching with @BertPalinckx, @paulcornelissen , @gertgering , and @Ulrike Niehoff, and the endless support and advice from @antonyhermus and @sanderteepen — thank you. I’m truly grateful… and don’t worry, I’m not letting you go just yet! 😄

I’d be delighted if you’d take a moment to explore it. Your thoughts and feedback are always welcome!

What a spectacle this was! Project 23’s success f What a spectacle this was!

Project 23’s success for the second year in a row is a brilliant demonstration that community projects can achieve high standards — both in terms of production and artistic quality!

A stunning mix of old and new music, from symphonic gems to Haydn’s Creation, with the soul-nourishing voices of @sabra_el_bahri_khatri and Berend Stumphuis as soloists, and the mesmerizing storytelling of Peter van Overbruggen. Followed by the finale of Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique and more. All of this brought to life with the breathtaking visuals of @sebastiaan.schoonen .

At @brabant_chamber_orchestra , we create yearly collaborations with so-called “amateur” music groups, leading to a full-scale concert. From the earliest stages of artistic development to the final performance and logistics, our orchestra team works side-by-side with the group. Together, we build a production that brings people together — from joyful, laughter-filled rehearsals to an unforgettable concert.

So proud to see this project growing in both size and quality! Already excited for the next edition.
Stay tuned!

This time again we were accompanied by these three fabulous coaches, @laura_oomens , @sanderteepen , @maximeleminter 

Thank you everyone for the inspiring collaboration and passion you brought to the table specially @mariejon1306

What an ending to 2024! I’m still savoring the inc What an ending to 2024!
I’m still savoring the incredible week in Katowice, assisting @antonyhermus and the superb Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra (@nospr) in the production of some truly magnificent repertoire: Bruckner’s Symphony No. 6 (his “most juicy symphony,” as the composer himself called it), Wagner’s Overture to Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, and Gorecki’s stunning Three Dances for Orchestra.

It was an absolute joy to work with this exceptional orchestra and witness the journey from the first rehearsal to a first-class concert.

What a privilege to see Antony unlock the hidden potential in these symphonic masterpieces and collaborate so beautifully with the talented musicians of NOSPR throughout the process.

Already looking forward to the next stop in 2025 with the Beethoven Orchester Bonn! 🔥

At the start of November, we brought a spectacular performance of the much-loved The Armed Man by Jenkins to a sold-out Concertzaal Tilburg, with an audience that couldn’t have been more thrilled!

It was such a joy to share the stage with my amazing colleagues @Gabrielka Clout and @josschroevers, along with our stunning soloists @sabra_el_bahri_khatri and @josephinalouisehoogstad. You were outstanding! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This production was a true collaboration, uniting my Royal Tilburg Male Chorus, chamber choir Malkander, and the incredible Sophia Vereniging. Our musicians were nothing short of marvellous 🔥

Stay tuned—soon, I’ll share more about the past weeks and the exciting projects on the horizon!
