Transatlantic Guitar Duo Recital
Guitarists Elger Verschuur and Terence de Haseth met for the first time on the island of Bonaire and formed the Bonaire Guitar Duo in 2013. As a duo they played regularly at various places on Bonaire as well as on Curacao and Aruba, also collaborating with other local artists.
Coming from different musical backgrounds with Elger as a classical guitarist and Terence more as a rock and flamenco guitarist, it enabled them to play many different styles by combining their experience and skills.
After a few years playing together with weekly gigs and many other special occasions, they parted ways as Elger left the island. They both continued playing their guitars and they still work together for specific occasions, despite being divided by the Atlantic ocean. In 2023 they had a sold out guitar recital on Bonaire after many years. This was broadcasted on a local TV station and was very well received by the people of Bonaire.
For this occasion on Curacao Elger and Terence are getting together again to play a extensive collection of music pieces varying from classical to flamenco, latin and even pop. It’s even more special that this time they will be accompanied by the renowned classical pianist Ilja Huang from Curacao, making this a new collaboration with even more musical possibilities.

Imagine the evening, where Henk van Twillert and his talented companions "Vento do Norte" take you to various places around the world with their program "Encontro Azul". An encounter with Un Sueño in Re minor by Gerard Palm together with Astor Piazzolla's stirring Libertango, Leonard Cohen's life song Halleluja in duo with the compelling Air by Johann Sebastian Bach, or the melancholy of Portuguese Fado in Cançao do Mar, which continues to dream with Curaçao in the beautiful twilight of Rudy Plaate's Atardi.
An emotional moment will be when the musicians will play compositions by musicians with whom Henk has worked in the past; Despedida by Wim Statius Muller, Abo So by Padú del Caribe and the Pavane para Guiomar by Livio Hermans.
Versatile, competent, passionate and sincere, Henk van Twillert brings together a generation of musicians, each with their own unique sound, who together leave an indelible impression.
