Three years later he entered the Tilburg Conservatory, which he left after two years, being admitted to the Master Program in Advanced Vocal Ensemble Studies at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. This Master he finished ‘with distinction’ in 2015.

As a soloist, in recent years he performed amongst others the soli in the Matthew and John Passion by Bach, numerous Bach Cantatas, the Mozart Requiem, but also the Vigilia by Rautavaara. Finally, as a choir singer Bram has in the past few years been working for the Netherlands Chamber Choir, the Netherlands Bach Association, the Helsinki Chamber Choir, as well as for the other professional choirs in the Netherlands. He is at present being coached by pedagogue dr. Geert Berghs.
