This appointment was preceded by several years as co-principal in the Amsterdam Philharmonic and solo flute of the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra. Besides this, he was a professor of flute and chamber music at the Royal Conservatorium (The Hague). He played in various chamber music groups such as the Viotta Ensemble of the Royal Concertgebouworchestra and Quartetto Amsterdam, a quartet for flute and strings. He was a member of the celebrated Netherlands Wind Ensemble for more than a decade and toured extensively with this group (a.o. U.S., England and toured with Steve Reich and his musicians). For many years, he played a series featuring the complete Bach sonatas with harpsichordist Bob van Asperen in one of Amsterdam's old churches. This series later expanded to 18th-century chamber music repertoire, gained great popularity and lasted for over 20 years. As a chamber music player his main interest is in eighteenth and twentieth century music. Dutch composers including Rudolf Escher, Theo Loevendie and Tristan Keuris wrote works for him, as well as foreign composers such as Isang Yun, Jean Françaix, Gottfried Michael Koenig and Per Nørgård. He recorded numerous CD's, and played flute concertos by Vivaldi, Mozart and Jolivet for Dutch television. He appears regularly as a teacher of masterclasses in Germany, England, Portugal and Italy as well as in the US. In recent years he has taught privately in his studio in Tuscany as well as in Amsterdam. His students have positions in major European orchestras. He is much in demand as a chamber music coach (a.o. Mozart, Beethoven and Stravinski wind music) and coach of orchestral wind sections (European Union Youth Orchestra, Orchestra Verdi-Milano, etc.) as well as a jury member of flute and wind competitions.
