In playful and intense musical dialogues, the musicians challenge each other and effortlessly take the audience on a musical journey. As musical director at Bart Peeters & the Ideale Mannen, and previously at Kapitein Winokio, Ivan has left his mark on numerous successful productions in recent years.
