Flanders Recorder Duo

(BE)

Tom and Joris used to be known as half of The Flanders Recorder Quartet and with them they have played concerts in over 50 countries around the world. They took a short break after the quartet’s Great Farewell Tour of 2017-2018 and are back again, fitter than ever and ready to continue the legacy as a duo: The Flanders Recorders Duo, FR2!

FR2 originally started way back in 2013 when best friends Tom and Joris teamed up as a duo, without a name, to perform at the the Teachers Conference of the Dutch Bamboo Pipers Guild in Baarlo, The Netherlands. Since then they have performed in Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, England, Scotland and the USA, often as part of workshops workshops or orchestra events. FR2 knows the recorder repertoire as no other and both Tom and Joris are excited to present their instruments on stage.

In recent years, FR2 focused on research and performance practice of English recorders from 1930s, on the recording of the piece for bamboo pipes by Ralph Vaughan-Williams and they recently recorded an album with music by the German composer Soeren Sieg, with the composer at the piano.
