About Me

ERNST REIJSEGER www.ernstreijseger.com http://ernstreijseger.com/discography/

Cellist & composer Ernst Reijseger is creative partner of poets, dancers, actors, painters, sculptors, photographers and film makers. His live performances challenge expectations and are build on risktaking and essential communication.

Reijseger scored films for Werner Herzog, for Alex and Andrew Smith and many documentaries about art in The Netherlands. Summer 2017 he scored and performed his music to Shakespeare’s Hamlet (with a.o. Oscar Isaac, Keegan Michael Key and Gayle Rankin, directed by Sam Gold) at The Public Theatre in New York City.

Reijseger's musical collaborations included improvised and jazz music (Harmen Fraanje, Han Bennink, Misha Mengelberg, Steve Lacy, Uri Caine), classical and baroque music (Yo Yo Ma, Giovanni Sollima, Erik Bosgraaf, Dutch Wind Ensemble, Forma Antiqua), traditional music (Trilok Gurtu, Tenore e Concordu de Orosei, Groove Lélé, Nana Vasconcelos, A Filetta).

Reijseger's solo concerts consist of his personal compositions and improvisations.  For over ten years, Reijseger is dedicated to trio Reijseger Fraanje Sylla.
