02.12.25, 20:00, Jeroen Berwaerts & Akiko Nikami, Debussy, Enescu, Gershwin & Ligeti

If you ask Jeroen Berwaerts what he is working on, chances are that the answer will be extensive and varied. This internationally acclaimed soloist and teacher moves smoothly between all musical styles – mostly as a trumpeter, but sometimes also as a (jazz) singer. He performs as a soloist with various orchestras of the highest caliber, collaborates in chamber music with luminaries such as Alexander Melnikov, and regularly premieres new works. Rarely does a musician manage to convey such a rich range of styles and roles with such conviction.

This recital also demonstrates that versatility is his trademark. Together with pianist Akiko Nikami, a much sought-after accompanist and soloist, he performs repertoire from the 20th and 21st centuries, from Théo Charlier and Toshio Hosokawa to Gershwin, Ligeti, and Rodgers.
