Sef Thissen, baritone
Egbert Derix, piano
'Wandern' is a song cycle largely based on poems by Egbert's father Jan Derix (1936-2009), which Egbert translated into German and set to music. He also added a number of his own German poems.
Wandern developed into a nomadic adventure in which many paths converge. Derix and Thissen experience it as an eclectic combination of poetry, classical singing, piano, composition and improvisation. Both experience Wandern as one of the most inspiring and rewarding adventures they have undertaken so far.
Baritone Sef Thissen made his mark with, among others, Opera 2.0 (the operas El Rey and Tom's Mountain), performances with the Wiener Kammersymphonie and the very successful Viva Classic Live concerts.
Egbert Derix wrote two compositions for our festival in 2023 and successfully performed them with Marion Vervoort.
