Jens Bjorn Larsen is live in Amsterdam! Jens has been giving a masterclass at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam this week and for our final event he is giving a recital that will also feature students of the masterclass.
Soloist and Principal Trombone of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Jörgen van Rijen tells us what it was like to win his job at a young age, how conservatories should prepare for the future in the Netherlands, and how his mindset during his 3 month study in France brought him to one of the worlds greatest stages today.
Trombonist, conductor, and teacher Pierre Volders tells us what is most fulfilling for him in music, why he almost quit his orchestra, and how he went full circle from student to teacher at the Rotterdam Conservatory.
