Geert Broeksteeg
Musical direction
Geert Broeksteeg is the conductor and artistic director of the Eindhoven Oratorio Association. He has been associated with this association as a conductor since 1990. Under his leadership, the choir has built up a broad repertoire. This has led to a large number of concerts in which works such as the St. John Passion, Messiah, Die Schöpfung, Paulus and various requiems were performed. But composers such as John Rutter, Poulenc and Benjamin Britten were also on the programme.

Geert studied school music and choir conducting at the Arnhem Conservatory from 1980 to 1988. As a choir conductor, he studied with Joop Schets and Hans van den Hombergh.
