Welcome. I am an Amsterdam-based classical trained musician whose main instrument is the blokflute (recorder). My current solo project involves the use of big sized square blokflute models, voice and sound manipulation, that I layer and loop using a foot-controlled laptop, creating an organic, ethereal, original soundscape. Read my full bio here.
I have a new piece called Hymalaia, which you may listen, download or share using the player displayed below. There's also a handful of live dates coming up soon. Cheers, Teresa

Roderik de Man interviewed by Walter van Hauwe in 2010. The conversation gives an excellent insight on the capacity of the Recorder, from de Man’s perspective. Informative and inspiring.
Watch Teresa and Naoko Kikuchi performing at Guimarães 2012! The piece is “L’Histoire d’amour entre” by J.L. Ferreira.
- Mar 11: Concert at Guimarães 2012 — European Capital of Culture — and more
On April 23 I’ll be performing with Naoko Kikuchi in Guimarães (PT). In order to “celebrate” my presence at the European Capital of Culture 2012, I’ve started a blog on the preparations for this show. The blog is called “Diário de um concerto” and is being written in portuguese. You can find “Diário” here or at my website’s navigation panel. Enjoy!

- New piece for Recorder+Koto by José Luís Ferreira!
A brand new piece for Recorder and Koto is on the way! It will be written by portuguese composer José Luis Ferreira and hopefully premiered at Guimarães 2012 - CEC.
We are looking forward! Not only because working with live electronics is always such a big thrill, but also Ferreira is quite a specialist on these matters, with an undergoing PhD Music research on Computer Music at Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP) in Oporto/ CITAR (Research Center For Science and Technology in Art).
You can know more about José Luís Ferreira here: www.youtube.com/user/JLFcompositor
- Annotations upon the Iliad II
Greek composer Nikos Ioakeim (*1978) wrote in 2010 “Annotations upon the Iliad II”, a piece for female voice, recorders, koto and percussion, dedicated to me and to Naoko Kikuchi. Now it is time to hear it! It’s going to be premiered at Ka-Bal (June 21st till 25th), a series of danse theater performances held during the Gentse Feesten, a major festivity event at the city of Ghent, in Belgium. Greek danser Alexis Kotsopoulos will join us to complete the setting.
The piece is going to be heard again already in August 18th, at Cacela Velha, Portugal. This time, composer Nikos Ioakeim will be at the concert and will say some words to the audience about his composition.
Here’s some usefull links:
Hope to see you in one of these events or perhaps in both!

About
Since 2012 she began writing her own compositions and developing a one-woman-ensemble project where she combines bass blokflute models, voice, looping and sound manipulation. She's currently working towards rendering this project into an album.
Notable collaborations include organist Gyula Szilagi, with whom she founded "Tons Parlantes", an ensemble devoted to the performance of 16th and 17th century, and koto player Naoko Kikuchi, with whom she performed at Guimarães 2012 - European Capital of Culture and Gentse Festival/Ka-Bal (2011).
She has performed in venues such as Vredenburg (Utrecht), Centro Cultural de Belém (Lisboa), Culturgest (Lisboa), Muziekgebouw aan t'IJ (Amsterdam) and in festivals such as the "Van Wassenaer Festival" (Amsterdam) and "Encontros de Música Antiga de Loulé" (Loulé).
Since 2008 she's the artistic director of the concert series "Clássica em Cacela", held every summer in the picturesque village of Cacela Velha, in the Algarve.
She took music lessons since the age of 4, learning the piano, blokflute (recorder) and ballet. In 2001 she graduated in Sports Sciences at Faculdade de Motricidade Humana da Universidade Técnica de Lisboa and in Music at Escola Superior de Música de Lisboa, after which she moved to The Netherlands where she studied the blokflute at Utrechts Conservatorium and later at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. During her music studies she focused on both early and contemporary music as well as on the improvisatory practices of both periods.
