Xavier Geerman | Composer 

Xavier Geerman is a composer from Aruba. He is currently based in The Netherlands but he also brings his music everywhere he goes. He is currently finishing his bachelor’s degree in music composition. He already made an impact by having a premiere in the Concertgebouw of Amsterdam, an opera premiere at the national opera and ballet during the opera forward festival and many more. He was also nominated for the Jacques de Leeuw award of 2018 where he won a year contract at an atelier free of charge instead of the main prize. He is currently using this workspace to explore new possibilities for working with other disciplines. What can music mean for choreography? What can choreography mean for music? And what about the other art forms? Xavier has been working closely with choreographers for 2 years now and he is still learning many new things from these collaborations. He is currently also orchestrating music for Aruba, and making a new composition for a Harmony orchestra, and he will be performing at the Dwarsdriewer festival in Germany in May 2019.
