GE#Sharp Artists Events puts the artist at the central stage.
Our personal preferences for specific stylistic periods are of no importance:
we fully assist musicians or ensembles in their artistic signature.
We focus on the artist’s unique selling point. In our view, musicians who can accentuate their unique selling point have the best chance to successful cultural entrepreneurship.
Reaching new audiences, broadening scopes and improving organisational efficiency are all factors that play a role in cultural entrepreneurship and in requirements by modern grant providers. We enjoy working with artists who share this view.
GE#Sharp Artists Events supports the preparation and execution of artists’ events from projects plans to evaluation reports and everything in between.
Some of Our Current Projects (click to open):
GE#Sharp Artists Events is responsible for the general management of this young and promising ensemble. Our task involves both business management and the preparation of productions. This early music society is currently organised in such way that its artistic team has a very prominent position. This ensures the close involvement of the so-called ‘core team of artists’ in the organisation’s executive tasks.

If you have any questions on the Holland Baroque Society, please use our contact information.
The main aim of this ensemble is to make classical music more attractive to new audiences by special concert programmes and easily accessible styles of presentation. The viola plays the most important role in these presentations, both as a solo instrument and in collaboration with other musicians and/or other artistic disciplines such as rap, dance, choral song and theatre.
The ensemble’s artistic manager is the famous violist Esther Apituley.
GE#Sharp Artists Events is currently working on a multi-year policy plan, preparing grant applications and coordinating festivities to accompany the opening concert, which will enable all relations to experience some of the ambitions the ensemble has. For more information, please visit

This renowned ensemble has been very active for the last thirty years. It specialises in Dutch music from the Middle Ages to the Golden Age. Camerata Trajectina has built an extensive and much-praised discography, having received prizes such as the Edison Classical Music Award in 2004. Lute-player and musicologist Louis Peter Grijp is the ensemble’s artistic manager.

The 300th death anniversary of the important composer and organ player Dieterich Buxtehude was commemorated in 2007. In that year, the Buxtehude Nederland Foundation set up many different activities. GE#Sharp Artists Events coordinated the organisation and the acquisition of the project initiated to honour this influential inspirator and predecessor of J.S. Bach.
Master Classes and Concerts, conducted by Kurt Equiluz
In March 2006, GE#Sharp Artists Events presented a very special joint project by the Tettix Foundation and the Utrecht Art Academy [Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht].

Don Giovanni by the Marzimino Foundation
Founder of GE#Sharp Artists Events Guido van den Ende produced six fully staged performances of Mozart’s Don Giovanni. Both amateurs and professionals participated in the project and together they gave very successful concerts, receiving a very positive review in national newspaper NRC Handelsblad.
