ChocoJazz performed at The Netherlands Club NYC in a themed evening around De Stijl — we played original compositions informed by abstraction and visual art, connecting sound and form in the room.
I performed at the reopening events of the Mauritshuis Museum in The Hague, playing with Jernej Bervar, Marciej Dormeradski, Frans van Geest, and Martijn van Iterson. A highlight was seeing Princess Beatrix among the guests.
I spent a tour week with Slovenian guitarist Jernej Bervar in the Netherlands — from concerts on water stages and boats to playing for Princess Beatrix, sightseeing, and enjoying great food together.
I taught a four-day songwriting workshop at Leiden University’s LAK center where students wrote and recorded their own songs. From lyrics to melody and final recordings, each participant created original music — some for the very first time.
