Rientje Van Oirschot (°1984) studied "Master in Music/Violin" at the Royal Flemish Conservatory with Dejan Mijajev 2002-2006, and graduated in 2007 with Henry Raudales (concertmaster Brussels Philharmonic, 3rd laureate Queen Elisabeth Competition 1985). As a second instrument, she studied piano with teachers Roland De Munck and Robert Groslot and majored in music analysis with Wim Henderickx. Masterclass for specific rhythm training and pedagogical/artistic skills were included.

After her studies, she built a creative entrepreneurial path as a violinist, arranger and composer for various target groups. She specialized in Argentine Tango, French Chanson and experimented with free improvisation. This brought her to exclusive concerts such as "night of poetry" concert hall Bruges (Silver Junkie, in collaboration with Nick Phelps - Clarinetist at Nick Cave), jazz club l'Archiduc, recordings for Radio 1 and Studio Brussels, Zuiderpershuis Antwerp with then own group. "Les Femmes de Nicolas". Her arrangements of Bach and Brel, among others, were used for various dance productions at Theater aan de Stroom.

As a freelance violinist, Rientje Van Oirschot participated in various ensembles and orchestras, including: 'Il Novecento', Night of the Proms (collaborated on film music recordings and European tours for 9 years). Orchestras such as Sint Paulus-camerata Aspetti musicali, La Passione and Eurterpe Barok Consort, Brassery XL, are other commitments to bring the more classical and popular repertoire to well-known Flemish cultural houses, namely De Singel, Stadschouwburg Antwerp, Leuven, Bruges, Cultural Centers, various church concerts.

"Soundscapes that match dance and images are currently a new challenge for me. Using the violin with modern playing techniques now particularly appeals to me. The influences and tonalities from different cultures are like traveling in music and I would like to use them more. Carefully balanced electronic means can contribute to expanding sound colors and impressions for semi-acoustic effects."

Affiliated with Ma'Go music academy Antwerp, Rientje van Oirshot teaches various components within general music theory, both to adults and to younger students.
