Véra and Emre, the duo Vemra, with a ukulele and a copper handpan in a garden

Vemra · voice and handpan

Vemra

Véra sings. Emre plays. Concerts, singing circles and sound journeys that leave a room quieter than they found it.

Draft text, Emre and Véra to correct

Vemra is the two of us: Véra's voice above Emre's handpan. No backing track, no effects, nothing between the sound and the room. We play concerts where people listen, singing circles where people join in. And sound journeys where people lie down and let go.

We started playing together at home and it never really stopped. What we bring is simple: a voice that holds a room, steel that breathes under it, enough silence between the two for something to happen.

Who we are

Véra

Voice. Leads the singing circles and carries the melody in the concerts. One line about Véra goes here, in her words.

Emre

Handpan. Composer of the duo's pieces, founder of VeChi Sound, solo artist with the 2026 album Adventure of the Ring.

Watch

Vemra live

Video: one Vemra piece, full take, goes here

One full performance video does more for a festival application than any text. Phone video in the studio with good light is enough. Three to five minutes, one take.

Short bio for programmes

Vemra is the Utrecht duo of Véra (voice) and Emre Veçhi (handpan). They play concerts, lead singing circles and hold sound journeys for festivals, yoga studios and retreats across the Netherlands. Their music is acoustic, slow and built around the space between a voice and a piece of steel.

Adventure of the Ring
