On this occasion, Bram played the bassoon concerto by Gubaidulina with the Rotterdam Philharmonic and chief conductor Seguin. <em>De Telegraaf<\/em> newspaper wrote about this performance: \u201cHe uses his instrument freely as a mouthpiece, conjures the finest timbres, and is technically capable of doing anything.\u201d In 2011 he won a Borletti Buitoni Trust Award, and has been admitted to The Chamber Music Society Two programme of New York\u2019s Lincoln Center.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Bram van Sambeek performs regularly as a soloist with orchestras such as the&nbsp;Lahti Symphony Orchestra,&nbsp;The Gothenborg Symphony, the Netherlands&nbsp;Chamber Orchestra, the Oulu Symphony, and the South Netherlands Philharmonic. Many composers, such as Vanessa Lann and Sebastian Fagerlund, have written concertos for him.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>From 2002 until 2011 Bram was Principal Bassoonist of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra and since 2009 he has been teaching the bassoon at the Conservatories in Rotterdam, Amsterdam and The Hague. Last season he started a professorship&nbsp;exclusively&nbsp;at the Hochschule f\u00fcr Music und Tanz in Cologne. Bram has taught masterclasses at schools&nbsp;like Bloomington Indiana, the Royal College of London, and the Conservatory of Busan, Korea.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>He played regularly as a Guest Principal with the London Symphony Orchestra and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. As a chamber musician he has worked regularly with Alexei Ogrintchouk, J\u00f6rg Widmann, Reto Bieri, Clara Andradas de la Calle, Herv\u00e9 Joulain, Radovan Vlatkovich, Liza Ferschtman, Christoph Pregardien, Pekka Kuusisto, Nicolas Altstaedt and Rick Stotijn. In 2010 Bram was offered a Carte Blanche series in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and in 2015 he received a \u201cWild Card\u201d consisting of many adventurous concerts at the Muziekgebouw aan \u2018t IJ, also in Amsterdam. He is a regular guest at festivals like the Delft Chamber Music Festival, Storioni Festival, Orlando Festival, West Cork Chamber Music Festival, Lockenhaus Chamber Music Festival and the Australian Festival of Chamber Music, and has investigated concert practice in cooperation with Radio Kootwijk Live, experimenting with innovations such as playing people to sleep.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In 2016 he was the spokesman of the \u201cSave the bassoon\u201d campaign set up by the Holland Festival. This lead to a lot of international attention and publicity for the instrument. Bram is very much interested in playing any style he likes, which leads him to work with rock musicians like Sven Figee in Konzerthaus Berlin, Jazz musicians like Joris Roelofs at the famous North Sea Jazz Festival, Arabic musicians like Kinan Azmeh in the Morgenland Festival, and improvisers like Ernst Glerum in the \u201cApples and Olives\u201d festival in Z\u00fcrich.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Bram decided to start playing the bassoon when he was ten years old, beginning his studies with Fred Gaasterland and continuing later with Joep Terwey and Johan Steinmann at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. After his graduation, he took private lessons with Gustavo N\u00fa\u00f1ez. In addition, he has participated in masterclasses with Brian Pollard and two of the most important bassoon soloists in the world: Klaus Thunemann and Sergio Azzolini. Bram also plays on a very special bassoon, an instrument that has been played for many years by both these musicians.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>About working together with Bram, Yannick N\u00e9zet-S\u00e9guin remarked in a television interview available at www.bramvansambeek.com: \u201cI think he is able to fall in love with many aspects of the music, and doesn\u2019t set himself too many boundaries.\u201d In another interview about Bram, Valery Gergiev remarked: \u201c\u2026all in all a combination of being artistically involved, motivated and being gifted, being a very nice person,and also being a little bit unusual!\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Booking Contact Kika Nieuwenhuis Territory: the world Presskit Bram van Sambeek (english) Bio Bram van Sambeek Video Bram van Sambeek Bram van Sambeek (1980) was the only bassoonist to receive the highest Dutch Cultural Award: The Dutch Music Prize, handed out to him personally by Minister of Culture Ronald Plasterk in 2009.
