Musicians Corner with Raoul van der Weide

Raoul van der Weide (Fontenailles, 1949) spent six years playing classical violin, including in the North Holland Youth Orchestra. He studied double bass with John Clayton and Norma Brooks, and counterpoint with Guus Janssen. Since the late 1970s, he collaborated with recently deceased Tristan Honsinger, as well as with the PUNT-UIT Orchestra of Bert Koppelaar, the Luc Houtkamp Quartet, the Ab Baars Sextet, the Paul Termos Trio, Burton Greene Trio & Quartet, and the Spazio Trio with Conrad Bauer on trombone and Guenther ‘Baby’ Sommer on percussion.
He participated in projects with visual sound artist Peter Zegveld and played with Augusto Forti’s Gravitones, as well as with numerous Dutch musicians such as Michiel Scheen, Jan Willem van der Ham, Jorrit Dijkstra, Guus and Wim Janssen, David Kweksilber, and Wiek Heimans. Currently, van der Weide is part of the Sound Lee! Quartet/Quintet (performing works by Lee Konitz), the Blue Lines Trio (with Michiel Scheen and George Hadow), and the alter ego Xavier Pamplona Septet. In early 2006, he released the solo album Passages, dedicated to his friend and colleague Paul Termos, who passed away in 2003. Since 2014, he has been programming monthly adventurous improvisation programs at Huis De Pinto in the series ‘Pintotonics n+1’. Since 2016, he has been programming the series ‘ALL STRINGS NIGHT’, and since October 2023, he has been programming the monthly improvisation and dance series “ÍMPROBELLISSIMO” at Theater Vrijburcht.
