Out today: Joep van Rhijn's Between Fact & Fiction In captivating duo with Korean pianist Yoonseung Cho, trumpeter Joep van Rhijn embraces the flugelhorn for Between Fact and Fiction, out on March 19, 2025. In the spirit of musical storytelling, Korea-based Van Rhijn offers nine original compositions and one new arrangement by Cho, inspired by the musical tension between, indeed, fact and fiction. “This album is a search for balance between transparency and clarity in music, ” the composer explains, “while leaving space for the listener’s imagination.” Journeying from stories to memories of the past and from feelings to experiences and back, Van Rhijn creates the feeling of riding a musical caroussel, watching the sunrise, or going on an adventure, encapsulated in compositions and melodies that are sometimes bold, sometimes sensitive, and always enchanting.
