NAOMI BEELDENS
As
a versatile performer, Naomi
Beeldens (°1988) has a predilection for music theatre, contemporary music and
all things experimental. She likes to seek for boundaries - between
genres, genders, disciplines, high & low culture - and is at
all
times on the look-out for invigorating musical experiences.
After
completing her degree in Modern Literature at the University of
Antwerp, Naomi started her classical singing studies at the Royal
Conservatory of Antwerp.
Naomi
is artist in residence at Muziektheater Transparant. She participated
numerous times in their Youth Operas and sang in Porselein,
a production that was named of one of the best of the year 2010 by
the newspaper De Standaard. In 2016 she realized her production La
Voix humaine.
Naomi
has performed in various productions with i.a. Philippe Herreweghe,
Frank Agsteribbe, Ewald Demeyere and Guy Joosten, and she enjoys
collaborating with composer Szymon Brzoska, pianist/composer Jeroen
Malaise and pianist Isaak Duerinck.
Recently,
Naomi could be heard in Serial
Drummer
Girls by Koen
Theys & Champ
d'Action and in PARSIFAL
The Grand
Opera, a modern
take on Wagner's opera
by Arlon Luijten and Operadagen Rotterdam.
ISAAK
DUERINCK
Japanese
piano music in an art gallery, a children’s workshop on
Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker,
jazzy cadenzas in 
classical concerts, a lecture recital on queer
composers… Isaak Duerinck
(1994) is at ease with them
all and is happy to veer off the classical path. He feels perfectly
at home on stage, especially when it involves music theatre or
20th-century
music.
Since2012, Isaak has been accompanied in his
growth as a musician and
performer by the pianist Eliane Rodrigues at the Royal Conservatoire
in Antwerp, and in 2016 he spent several inspiring months at the
Conservatoire in Lisbon. He frequently returns to a former favourite,
the accordion, with which, in combinations with different
instruments, he performs a variety of other musical genres, from
Django to tango.
In
June 2017 he graduated with the cabaret performance LES
ÂMES PERDUES, coached by
Wouter Van Looy, artistic head of Muziektheater Transparant.
