Duo with pianist Bart Verheyen

Since 2006 Katrien forms a Lied duo with pianist Bart Verheyen. For the first two years they have had coaching from Inge Spinette, repetitor at La Monnaie. In 2007 Katrien and Bart have been selected to participate for two years in the 'International Lied Masterclasses' with Udo Reinemann and internationally renowned musicians as Helmut Deutsch, Julius Drake, Hartmut Höll, Roger Vignoles and Edith Wiens. This collaboration resulted in three recitals, of which you can find more details here.

Krone des Lebens, Liebe, bist Du!

Beautiful German Lieder which sing of love in all her aspects: loving, devastating or happy love, the love from a mother for a child, nostalgic, unreachable or platonic love, a fairy-tale… The center-piece of every composer that we present consists of an utterly dramatic song in dialogue, in which the interpreters can indulge all their empathy and virtuosity.

Eros & Thanatos

Olivier Messiaen's Harawi, the Peruvian-French counterpart of the Tristan & Isolde-saga, is hereby complemented with German songs drenched in the same theme: fatal love.

In Exile

Zemlinsky, Korngold, Eisler and Weill: two generations of composers who fled for Hitler's regime to America. The emotional core of this program 'In Exile' finds its summon in Zemlinsky's Wanderers Nachtlied.

Listen here to some excerpts from this program, in a live recording from the Academiezaal St.Truiden at the Forte auditions 2011:
