Ineke Vandoorn & Marc Van Vugt

Ineke Vandoorn and Marc van Vugt are a Dutch Grammy award winning duo whose music is a mixture of lyrical, original jazz songs and adventurous, sound oriented improvisations. Ineke Vandoorn is a singer/pianist and Marc van Vugt is a composer/guitarist, and together they have released 12 CDs. Their original approach has taken them to clubs and festivals around the world, including Canada, USA, France, Germany, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Austria, Macedonia and Hungary. They recorded with the Dutch Metropole Orchestra (conducted by Vince Mendoza), composed and performed a project with Het Nederlands Kamerkoor (the Dutch Chamber Choir), and created an improvised opera collaborating with a poet. Their last CD, Crossing Canada (2019), features recordings made during two five-week cross Canadian tours where they performed at clubs and festivals, taught and performed as artist-in-residence at Universities in Toronto, Vancouver and Ottawa. Vandoorn and van Vugt are known for their duo-playing that they have taken to a different level, seamlessly switching roles, exploring the boundaries of both improvisation and lyrical songs while never losing their sense of lyricism and harmony. Their performances showcase the intimate connection that develops between two musicians who have perfected the art of musical conversation.
