Wiek Hijmans
Performing new music with electric guitar since 1987
Welcome!
I have just discovered a wonderful article which was written very recently (July 2020) about my work. Very moving to see someone so dedicated to research what I have been doing. Thanks Mr. Aguzzi!
NEWS: On behalf of the Holland Festival, I kicked off the estafette performance of Calliope Tsoupaki's Thin Air (for solo instrument).
A new initiative to commemorate all the suffering caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Festivals for Compassion is a collaboration of more than 40 European major music festivals.
