'Rolf is a deep musician with infinite respect for music, composers, his colleagues and the audience.'
Barbara Hannigan - November 2023
Rolf Verbeek has been associated with Camerata RCO (members of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra) as permanent guest conductor since 2019. He made several arrangements for this ensemble, which they performed during and after the pandemic. Last season, 2 albums were released with this company, Bruckner’s 6th symphony in his own arrangement and the album Sehnsucht with Barbara Hannigan as soloist.
In recent years Hannigan has fulfilled the role of mentor within the Equilibrium Young Artists program in which Rolf has acted as assistant conductor with many international orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra, Munich Philharmoniker and Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France.
