Roberto Aussel Concertgebouw

This is Roberto Aussel during his concert in our series at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. He played a wonderful concert in a full house. It had been a long time since his last solo concert in this beautiful hall and he was looking forward to it as much as the audience was.

Christiaan Beijer Roberto Aussel

This is Roberto Aussel, back stage, after his concert. The person on the left is Christiaan Beijer. Roberto en Christiaan were happy to meet again after such a long time. Back in the eighties guitar afficionado Christiaan Beijer started the Gitaristen Kollektief . He used to organize guitar festivals and concerts and of course, invited Roberto Aussel among many other guitar players.

Those who would like to see more pictures of our series, they can be found on Flickr.

These are Krisna and Prawira Pijloo after having performed Manuel de Falla’s La Vida Breve in Concertgebouw Amsterdam. Both Krisna and Prawira play the guitar from an early age and both want to become professional guitarists.

We invited them to play one piece before Rafael’s concert, to get a taste of the real thing. In the video below you can see them getting prepared, at home as well as right before the concert.

I know Krisna and Prawira since 2013 as you can see in the other video, recorded when they visited the workshop with their parents.

Jason played a beautiful concert for a full house and the audience loved it.

It was Jason’s first time in Amsterdam. According to his shares on his twitter account I got the impression that he enjoyed his stay.
