They met by chance in Heusden and soon there was a click on a musical and personal level. Oboist Jurrien Peterse with his broad classical background (Conservatory The Hague) and Eugenie Geurts with her singing skills and improvisation and diversity of light music styles (Conservatory Tilburg) proved to be an outright success in the collaboration.
Eclectic music is a mix of an enormous diversity of musical genres. It combines characteristics of different styles or movements.
Together they searched for compositions in which their playing ideas could merge and inspired each other to take on new challenges. They play, sing and talk about their experiences in between, and it turned out to be a great success with standing ovations at every concert.
"Music should connect and be an intimate experience for our audience, and that certainly includes passion, focus and a sense of humor," say Eugenie and Jurrien.
Duo Eclectique can be booked for all kinds of occasions, such as:
- Receptions
- House concerts
- Weddings
- Events
- Theatre performances
- Company parties
- Etc...
