Blender is an informal artist meetup and a free space where diverse artists with various backgrounds can meet to exchange ideas about their work, inspire each other and make new connections.
Diederik van der Laag (1991) is a composer of vocal music, singer, and guitarist. Born and raised in Utrecht, he grew up surrounded by his father’s records of Madonna and Paul Young, and his mother’s endless love for Bach and Vivaldi.
His works have been performed in over 20 countries, with Latvia, Ukraine, and the Philippines being added to the list this year.
Since the performance of his first choral work in 2015, Diederik has established himself as a vocal composer with a mission: to innovate tonal choral music with compositions that captivate both the mind and the heart: “To me, music is at its most beautiful when it leaves space. When it not only offers a stage for itself, but also for what wants to arise in the moment.”
