Music for the moments that only happen once.
Weddings, ceremonies, proposals, private celebrations and wellness sessions — based in the Netherlands, playing across Europe.
What people ask me for
A proposal
Hidden until the moment
You tell me where to stand and when to start. I stay out of sight until then, and the music arrives at the second you planned it for. Usually arranged by one person without the other knowing, and I am used to keeping it that way.
The ceremony
The walk in, the vows, the walk out
The music starts the second the doors open and stops where you want it to. Whatever you choose gets written for the instruments that will actually be there and for the length of your walk, instead of a recording everyone hopes lands on time.
Cocktail & dinner
While people arrive and eat
Quiet enough to talk over, good enough to make someone stop talking. Tango, jazz standards, film themes, bossa. And one piece that the whole room turns around for — the first dance, the toast.
Your song, written out for viola.
I write my own arrangements, so the music of your day does not have to come off a list. Send me the song that means something to you and I will write it for solo viola, for a duo, or for my string quartet. I also compose original music for events.
We talk through the pieces for each moment once you get in touch — there is no fixed menu to choose from.
A selection, not a menu. Anything outside the list can be requested.
Come as a duo, a trio or a quartet.
I play solo, and I also put together the group your day needs — strings with guitar for a vineyard ceremony, a string trio for a garden, a quartet for a hall. I write what everyone plays, so the sound is built for your room and not borrowed from a standard set.

What people said afterwards
“The music was perfect. It felt like we were in a film.”
“The proposal was magic. I need you to play at my wedding too.”
Beyond the viola
I can take care of the music of the whole day.
I have put whole days together, not only played in them: finding and coordinating the musicians, agreeing the running order, and caring about how the moment looks as much as how it sounds.
Formats

Not only celebrations
Meditation sessions, openings, gala dinners, launches.
Live viola alongside singing bowls, or as the room fills at a corporate opening. If you are planning something that is not on this page, ask — most of the interesting work has come that way.
What happens after you write
01
You write
The date, the place, and what kind of moment it is. If none of that is decided yet, write anyway.
02
We talk about the music
By e-mail, on the phone, or over a coffee — whichever suits you. What you want people to feel, what you want to walk in to, and the song that is not negotiable.
03
You get one price
One number for the whole thing, travel included, written down. Nothing appears on the day that was not agreed before it.
04
Enjoy your own day
By then there is nothing left for you to check. I arrive early, set up without anyone noticing, and you get to be a guest at your own party.
Tell me the date and the room.
