Conductor

Apart from being a composer and a singer, Nana is - first and foremost - a conductor.
While teaching vocalisation, she also worked as a guest conductor with the Handelkoor in Roden (2000), and with the Gemengd Koor in Ten Boer (2001). As from 2002 up to 2006 Nana worked as a conductor at the Regional Chamber Choir Peize. Since april 2007 she is conductor of the Byzantine Men Choir Friesland. Since 2001 Nana conducts her own founded chamber choir Moderato Cantabile, www.moderatocantabile.nl.

Artistic vision

The conductor prefers to present a broad repertoire, in which the musical interpretion of the selected works and not the textual interpretation takes centre-stage (although the two can of course never be fully seperated). With her own, unique style of conducting - characterised by members of the choir as 'singing with your hands' Nana hopes to achieve a timbre that reveals the heart and soul of the chosen piece of music.
