These last months I’ve been working on some commissioned arrangements for several bands/orchestra's. A few highlights:
For the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw I got to arrange a beautiful song by guitarist Ella Zirina. In a concert in the end of March, they performed this new arrangement and an arrangement I’ve made for tenor saxophonist Jesse Schilderink. For the Codarts project week, I wrote an arrangement on Cole Porter’s “So in Love” for the new Codarts World Music Orchestra (a symphonic line-up with some nice extra’s). For this June, I'm working on two beautiful tunes by Kika Sprangers and Alistair Payne for their concert with the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw.
