Joris van den Berg performed concertos with The Hague Philharmonic, Manchester Camerata and the Flanders Symphony Orchestra, and chamber music with such musicians as Liza Ferschtman, Philippe Graffin en Daniel Hope. He plays a Giovanni Grancino cello from 1703 with a N.L. Tourte 'L’Ainé' bow, both being placed at his disposal by the Dutch National Musical Instrument Foundation.
