Philip Segers has been passionate about music from an early age. In the local brass band he started on flugelhorn and later switched to trumpet & cornet. Philip played for several years in the youth and music orchestra of Antwerp as a trumpet player. Very early on he started writing his own pieces. This resulted in his studies at the conservatory of Antwerp. His teachers included Peter Thomas (harmony, counterpoint and fugue), Luc Van Hove (composition) and Wim Henderickx (analysis). Philip is now picking up his passion for composing again. With 'Miniatures of Inner Movement' (°2022 - piano solo) he continues to build on the style that characterizes him: accessible contemporary. Until now Philip has mainly written solo works and chamber music.
Leonello Capodaglio was born and lives in Lendinara, in the Venice region of Italy. Of French descent, he studied in Venice with Gino Gorini (piano), Gian Francesco Malipiero and Ugo Amendola (composition), Franco Ferrara (orchestral conducting) Egida Giordani Sartori (harpsichord) and Pellegrino Ernetti (prepolyphony).
Herman Jeurissen (°1952) has played an important role in the Dutch horn world for more than four decades. He was principal horn in the Residentie Orchestra in The Hague for 35 years. As a horn soloist, he performed with conductors such as Ferdinand Leitner, Hans Vonk, Yevgeni Svetlanov, Jean Fournet, Roy Goodman and Ton Koopman. He travelled the world as a chamber musician and guest teacher at many conservatories. Throughout his career, he was active in coaching and training young musicians. At the conservatories of Amsterdam, The Hague and Tilburg, he trained a new generation of horn players. Former students now hold solo and tutti positions in, among others, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, the National Opera Orchestra of Bucharest, the Brussels Philharmonic, the Phion in Arnhem/Enschede, the NNO in Groningen, the Residentie Orchestra in The Hague and the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra Hilversum. After retiring, he remained active for many years as a senior lecturer at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. (In the summer of 2024, he concluded his 48-year career as a conservatory teacher.)
