With the trio, La Fontegara Amsterdam, he has spent 20 years researching, (premiering) and recording the complete repertoire for this instrumentation. From 1999-2007 he was a member of the famous Belgian ensemble Flanders Recorder Quartet. With this group he has made countless concert tours to Japan, Taiwan, South Africa, Mexico, America, Russia and Israel and played in the largest concert halls in Europe.
