About Liesbeth
Liesbeth Vreeburg is a harpist and performer, working in contrasting yet connected musical worlds. She is a much requested chamber music performer and combines this with playing new music and creating her own work. She loves working on the intersection of disciplines, where image, sound & text collide.
Together with Johan Olof, she is the initiator of the Oneiros Ensemble. This is a collective of chamber musicians who play in large and small constellations across The Netherlands.
She also founded Liminale, a collaboration with harpist Idske Bakker. Liminale is a platform for artistic research on music and the senses.
Liesbeth Vreeburg studied harp at the Utrechts Conservatorium with Erika Waardenburg. She obtained her bachelor and master degree cum laude. During her studies she specialized in the contemporary repertoire for harp, and in improvisation. She also studied the historically informed practice of early instruments, focusing on the single-action harps from the 18th century.
Projects
Liminale
Liminale is a platform that investigates the relationships between the senses and music.
In the phase between ‘no more’ and ‘not yet’, the no mans land between two realities, we investigate music with all of our senses. The liminal phase is the transition period from one state to the next. When does listening become seeing, when does feeling become hearing, when does tasting become feeling?
Oneiros Ensemble
The Oneiros Ensemble plays chamber music, from baroque to contemporary, in large and small groups, for young and old listeners. The ensemble searches for the essence of their music, arranges and programs, makes music theatre, and tells stories.
