Programme notes

The professional artists Ernst Paul Fuchs (piano), Annemieke Hereijgers (flute) and Sietse van der Wal (visual artist) are all from Almere Haven! They devised the project Mach3 to bring music and visual art together in a series of four concerts.

Tonight the big Finale! Then the entire César Franck Sonata will be played by Ernst Paul and Annemieke and we will see Sietse's ultimate work of art on stage. Two more art forms will be added: dance and literature by art colleagues.

Fuchs, Hereijgers & Van der Wal

Ernst Paul Fuchs is a much sought-after accompanist of instrumentalists and singers. As a piano teacher and repetiteur, he works at Cultuurbedrijf Noordoostpolder in Emmeloord. As a performing pianist, he is part of the Trio Dame Blanche and The James Whale Orchestra, among others. Besides being a pianist and teacher, Ernst Paul is active as an amateur singer. Since 2006, he has sung with the basses in chamber choir Concerto Cherise in Utrecht. This has further fuelled his interest in vocal music. Since 2010, he has accompanied opera projects at De Nationale Opera in Amsterdam.

Annemieke Hereijgers is a freelance flautist. It is precisely the diversity of work that appeals to her, from solo playing to orchestral work. In this, she has a great fondness for deepening the characters of the various flutes (piccolo, traverso, flute, alto flute).

Since 2014, Annemieke has been part of the Harlekijn Kamerorkest led by Herman van Veen.
Current ensembles of Annemieke are ensemble Pamoja, baroque ensemble Polyhymnia and the ensemble Epos for children's concerts. Besides her performing practice, she is a music teacher of, among others, the Leerorkest in Amsterdam.

Sietse van der Wal is a visual artist and works as a biology and fine arts teacher. He derives much of his formal language from biology. He often uses objects found in nature as a starting point for his work.
