The Vocal Room #2 - Rianne Wilbers & Vera Morais

The Vocal Room is not a concert, but a performative research space for the voice — a place where vocal expression is explored, challenged, and reinvented. In each edition, vocalist Rianne Wilbers (also known as Rhiannin, and resident at POM) invites a different voice artist to embark on an adventurous experiment together. No repetition, no script — only the here and now.
In The Vocal Room #2, Rianne enters the space with Portuguese singer, improviser, and composer Vera Morais. Her practice moves along the boundary between composition and improvisation exploring the many sonic and expressive dimensions of the voice. She is co-founder of several interdisciplinary projects, including the collective LIÇO, which seeks connections between traditional Portuguese singing and wool work, and the performance Galatea, in collaboration with harpsichordist Katerina Orfanoudaki. She is also the conductor of the Queer Choir Amsterdam and co-founder of the collective Orbits, which is dedicated to developing the jazz and improvisation scene in Amsterdam.
With her versatile voice and intuitive approach, Vera creates sonic landscapes in which space, body, and environment resonate. For her work, she was awarded the “Emerging Artist of the Year” prize by RTP/Festa do Jazz in Portugal in 2024.
Rianne Wilbers — Rhiannin — moves effortlessly between classical, avant-garde, and free improvisation. With her multifaceted voice, she continuously searches for new forms of expression, where control and surrender go hand in hand. The Vocal Room is her artistic platform at POM for deepening, research, and collaboration — a place where voices meet and something essential can emerge.
Come listen, feel, and discover how two voices meet, challenge each other, and bring something new to life.
