Classical Singer
Singing has been (and still is) an important part of Egbert’s (musical) journey and life. Egbert’s musical career started as a singer, his early singing teachers including Annette Essers and Jos Dingemanse, both in the Netherlands. In 2014 he continued his vocal studies in Scotland with Ann Lampard MBE; which resulted in 2016 in obtaining the Associate diploma of Trinity College London in Music Performance with distinction. Performance experience as a singer is broad, including solo recitals, concert appearances and roles in Opera and Oratorio. Egbert is also a recorded artist of whom several albums are globally available on all major music platforms.
