Teun & Teun

Teun & Teun are two friends that share a particularly difficult to pronounce first name and a love for music. Since they have met at the Utrecht conservatory they have brought their music to stages in The Netherlands, Germany, Scotland, and Bulgaria, performing in many of Europe’s finest festivals and concert series. Center of their approach is to inform themselves with the musical and environmental context of the period a work is composed in, in order to understand its language, to make it their own and deliver a heartfelt performance. Teun & Teun put a special focus on the rhetoric aspect of baroque music, helped by coachings of leading early music experts as Heiko ter Schegget, Siebe Henstra, Ketil Haugsand, Kris Verhelst and Conrad Steinmann. They also show an interest in the performance of contemporary music for their instruments, looking for dialog between early music and modern composition. Over the past years, several modern compositions having been written for them. For more information, please press the link below:
