Chieko Donker Duyvis
Chieko is a cellist, composer, vocalist and interdisciplinary artist from Amsterdam with Brazilian/Japanese roots. She is performing at Restaurant Bellezza as an artist with Red Light Arts & Culture.
Her musical journey began as a classical cellist, starting at 14 in the Young Talent programme of the Conservatory of Amsterdam where she was playing with members of the Concertgebouw Orchestra and got a thorough classical training.
Always trying to find her own voice in music as a creative artist, she started two Masters in Jazz, improvisation and Latin American music, blending new styles with her background of classical music. This resulted in her unique way of playing the cello and voice in improvisation, leading to tours in Europe, Asia, artistic residencies in Brazil and an invitation to EuroJazz festival in Mexico.
In 2022 she got commissioned to write new work for her Chieko Collective on a radio broadcasted première as the New Creator for Grachtenfestival. Later that year, she won the Dias Latinos Award for her work with her collective. With her heart in interdisciplinary collaborations, she has created extensively with dancers, theatre, poets and visual artists. She loves composing for film and has scored several movies and documentaries.
This performance at Bellezza is organized in collaboration with Red Light Arts & Culture.
