After his studies in modern flute, Baroque flute and chamber music at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, Raymond Honing embarked on a career performing a repertoire that covers three centuries of musical history, from Baroque on the one key flute and early romantic music on the eight key flute to contemporary music on the modern Boehm flute, alto and bass included. Whatever the repertoire may be, Raymond Honing's main reason to play the music is always curiosity; curiosity about what the composer had in mind, and how the audience will react to it.
