Biography
The mythical Arion was a wonderful poet and musician that was given this choice: “Be killed by your sailors or be drowned by the sea!”. He jumped into the waters and unexpectedly landed on the back of a dolphin. When Arion’s voice was saved from the depths of the sea, he truly understood: your voice is meant to sound.
Estelle Krammer (2001, soprano), Anne-Lien Goeminne (2006, alto), Jón Kleinehanding (1996, tenor) and Teun Smeets (1996, bass) are all professional singers with the ambition to develop a close-knitted vocal group. They bring their own backgrounds from not just different nationalities, but also different musical styles.
‘Arion’ is a new, aspiring vocal group consisting of four different voices, with the desire to sound as one. Arion believes in the power of the voice: the stories that cross our lips, the songs that move. The group brings arrangements of existing jazz and musical repertoire as well as own compositions.
