***
Bram van Langen is a Dutch songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He studied guitar at the Alkmaar Conservatory. He has been performing his own music since 2013 and has since performed more than 1000 shows across Europe; from Iceland to Portugal, from Paris to Berlin, from Sweden to Sicily. He has also performed on major stages such as Paradiso and Melkweg. He also works as a studio musician and plays live as a side-man in other acts such as The Coo, Lewin and with Mitch Julius.
Bram is currently playing with an ensemble - a long-cherished dream to perform with an orchestra. Here he reinterprets his music with new arrangements, sensitive melody lines and sometimes complex harmonies in an often eclectic composition of instruments (cello, alto saxophone, (bass) trumpet, Greek ney, piano and Portuguese mandolin). These new interpretations are inspired by music from the late Romantic period, bossa nova from the '50s, Western folk from the '60s as well as contemporary music.
He will be joined by Ralphe de Rijke on saxophone and mandolin, Tjalle Rens on cello and Mark Nieuwenhuis on trumpet.
