Nesrine

Nesrine is an extremely versatile singer and cellist. A true musician of today, she combines influences from various genres including pop, rock, minimalism, and North African music. Originally educated as a classical cellist, she has played in Daniel Barenboim’s East Western Divan Orchestra and in Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana conducted by Lorin Maazel, but increasingly she began to explore other musical worlds. Nesrine can be described as a cultural allegory between the East and the West. She sings poetic texts in Arabian, English, and French. In 2018 she released her album Ahlam, which was received with great enthusiasm by international media. She has toured across Europe and has performed in venues such as the Berliner Philharmonie. She made her Cello Biënnale debut at the very first edition of CELLOFEST and performed with the Metropole Orchestra at the Biënnale 2022.

Anissa Nehari

Frank van de Laar (Laren, 1965) completed his studies with Jan Wijn at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam in 1989 with the highest possible distinction. He continued his education in Hannover with Karl-Heinz Kämmerling and in Amsterdam with Naum Grubert. In 1987, he won the 3d prize at the International Brahms Competition in Hamburg and in 1988, he won the first prize at the Postbank-Sweelinck Competition. He made his debut in the Grote Zaal of the Concertgebouw that same year, and numerous performances in The Netherlands and abroad followed in high tempo. He has given concerts in the United States, Asia, and almost all European countries, winning many prizes and distinctions. His repertoire spans from the entire Baroque era to contemporary music, with an interesting role for lesser known early and contemporary works. He is also an active chamber musician. His performances have been recorded by countless radio and television channels and he has released over twenty-five CDs. He is a professor at the conservatories in Amsterdam and Zwolle.
