Amazing! Congrats Jeanine!

Bärenreiter-Verlag Ambassador Jeanine De Bique!🌟
I’m terribly proud to be an ambassador of one of the leading classical publishing companies in the world!
One of the best presents I’ve ever received was the day I received my first Bärenreiter Handel score, ‘Alcina’. I never dreamed of singing the role later on in my career. These iconic blue books are timeless and a trusted brand for classical musicians. It’s a huge honor to be their jubilee Ambassador on their 100th anniversary. Congratulations Bärenreiter!!🎉🎂
