Cornelissen
Welcome! I'm Bas, a classical singer, researcher, and graphic designer from The Netherlands.
Updates
Guest lecture on the evolution of music(ality) in the course 'Evolution: Culture and Human nature' at University College Utrecht.
Fonos can now be found on ensemblefonos.eu. The website is currently a placeholder, but one with a very funny background...
I sang my first concert with Fonos in the Antonius van Paduakerk in Nijmegen
Today I made my debut as a bass soloist in Bach's Johns Passion] with Houtens Kamerkoor Rondo! It's quite a busy concert for me, as I sing all roles (Christ, Petrus, Pilatus) and the aria's. Tomorrow I sing Christ and the two aria's with Collegium Altena, and on 10 and 25 April there's two more concerts with Rondo.
Tonight is the premiere of Bruid te Koop! in Enschede, my first production with Consensus Vocalis!
Sanne Berghuis and I will be performing two songs at the Bartholomeus Gasthuis in Utrecht this afternoon: Sanglots by Poulenc and Sowewoenie by Dick Kattenburg.
Performance of 'Ay Amor!', a project of the singing department at the HKU, at the lied festival 'Leve het Lied' in Tivoli Vredenburg, Utrecht.
Finally, after postponing several times, I gave a Cool Logic talk today on a very funny project: I wrote an algorithm to recompose Summa by Arvo Pärt.
