Who or what inspires you? 
The playing of my colleagues inspires me. Very often, I experience my place in the orchestra as a piece of heaven on earth.
Life as a professional musician can be demanding, what do you do to keep yourself balanced? 
To relax, I enjoy walking. Daily walks with my dog are lovely. If I have the opportunity, I prefer to go on a long-distance hike for a few days.
What makes a day a good day for you? 
Unexpected encounters make me happy, whether it's a nice conversation with a stranger or unexpectedly meaningful conversations with friends or acquaintances. They make my day truly special.
Did you come from a musical family? What role did music play in your family? 
I come from a family where music was very important, especially the world of harmonies. My father, my brother, and I were all members of a harmony. We looked forward to the weekly rehearsal evenings, making music together.
Is there another instrument you would like to master? 
Not another instrument, but I would love to be able to sing. Right now, I have the oboe to "sing" with.
Do you have a favourite place in Rotterdam? 
My favourite place in Rotterdam is my son's home. He lives in Rotterdam, and I love being there around dinner time because he's an amazing cook.

In 1960 werd Dmitri Sjostakovitsj verordonneerd tot het componeren van een symfonie over Lenin en de Oktoberrevolutie van 1917. Het was een van de vele hachelijke momenten uit zijn  componistenleven.

Do you come from a musical family yourself? 
My father is an organist and school musician. A lot of music was made at home, also by my relatives. This gave me the opportunity to play a lot myself.
How old were you when you knew you wanted to get into music? 
Around the age of thirteen I realized music was my calling.
If you are so involved with music, can it still affect you? 
Of course, music is always something that keeps you busy and that can still move you. Sometimes that can be something you haven't heard for a long time and of which you immediately think: “this is really cool.”
Life as a professional musician can be physically and mentally demanding. How do you keep yourself in balance? 
For me, the combination between sports and music is a very good balance. In any case, studying on an instrument, such as a horn, is also quite physical. It also has a lot in common with sports. You may be very tired after a full day of work. Especially in your body, even though you haven't used it at all. Sports is a great way to bring it back into balance.
Do you have a certain ritual before a concert? 
My ritual is to avoid rituals. The risk is that if you cannot perform your ritual, you will not be able to get into the right setting for the concert at all. I therefore try as much as possible to pretend that a concert is just a rehearsal or normal day. That works best for me.
