In Greek mythology, Aeolus was the guardian of the winds. The Aeolus Vocal Trio consists of three singers whose performances play with breath and wind. They explore the interplay of vocal and physical expressions through improvising in real time. Compositions are crafted by being present and tuning into themselves and each other. Alongside free improvisation, they incorporate texts from written poems and music into their performances.
They are trained classical singers who have been coached and directed by Virág Dezsõ in musicality of movement which contains physical acting, improvisation and real time composing. Soprano Madeline Saputra is pursuing her master’s degree in Conservatorium van Amsterdam, and mezzo-sopranos Femke Hulsman and Stefanie Bruggeling are finishing their studies in the Dutch National Opera Academy. The three of them are students of Sasja Hunnego.
Virág Dezső is a modern mime artist with a strong dance background. She is performer, maker, pedagogue and developer of the Musicality of Movement / MoM approach supporting musicians’ performing-, improvisation-, and real-time composition skills. Virág is the artistic leader of MAPA (est. 1993), the Moving Academy for Performing Arts.
