Musical performance

Flute quartet 4beauforte currently performs with concerts for children about the fairy tale 'the red shoes'. I had the honor of making the illustrations. A wonderful experience!

Once upon a time...
there were 4 pairs of red shoes...

The music was composed especially for this performance. This was possible through a collaboration with the passionate composition class of Jeroen D’hoe at LUCA School of Arts (Campus Lemmensinstituut).
