Andrea Voets is artistic director of Resonate Productions. She makes musical journalism by combining in-depth, social journalism with lots of original music, into performances and podcasts that bring to light emotional blinds spots in society. In 2018, she became a New Maker at De Balie: the main house for debate of the Netherlands. This resulted in Wings & Roots (2018) and While We Live (2020). The Dutch quality-newspaper NRC listed this show as one of the best of classical music that year, calling it a “fascinating new genre”.In 2022, Andrea created podcast Millennial History with composer Luke Deane. This production got shortlisted for by the Association of International Broadcasters as best human interest audio/radio. Podcast-phenomenon Avery Trufelman named it as one of the six best/weirdest podcasts of the year. During the pandemic, she received the selective Dutch FastForward grant, given to two performing artists per year, for worldwide artistic research into the question “how to feel safe?”.2024 brought FOR REAL: a theatrical radio-show on what it means to matter. Starting point: an in-depth analysis of the intellectual undermining of women. Each performance leads to one podcast-episode with original sound design. That same year, Andrea wrote the plan that secured the first four-year structural funding from the Dutch Fund for the Performing Arts for Resonate Productions, for 2025-2028.Andrea obtained her BA of harp and philosophy in Amsterdam and her MA of harp at the Hanns Eisler conservatory in Berlin, where she has been teaching music philosophy ever since. She developed the concept of musical journalism after the creation of XENITIA: a documentary-concert based on the testimonies of eighteen Greeks who left their country because of the crisis, described as “the sort of show we need after Trump and Brexit” at ClassicalNEXT. Andrea is a guest-lecturer at universities throughout Europe in various fields (journalism, history, musicology, European studies) and an ISPA-fellow. She is artist-in-residence at O. festival Rotterdam and Lunalia (Festival van Vlaanderen - Mechelen) and writes for De Groene Amsterdammer.Because of her international activities, Andrea speaks six languages. She lives and works in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Greece.www.resonate-productions.com || Insta: resonate.productions || facebook.com/musicaljournalism
