28 November 2024
Jasperina Verheij and Willem van den Dool have won the Vrienden van het Lied Incentive Award at the International Student LiedDuo Competition. After four intensive days, they participated in the finals in De Oosterpoort Groningen after which they were awarded with this prize. Congratulations on this great achievement!
Jasperina Verheij and Willem van den Dool met while studying at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague and have formed a lied duo together since 2021. They enjoy performing well-known and unknown songs from all periods of the lied art. They like to take audiences into the story of the songs, in which music and lyrics are always in dialogue and reinforce each other. Besides the many songs on serious subjects, they also like to highlight the theatrical side of the lied art.
