Micha van Weers studied at the Maastricht Academy of Music with Tilly Keessen and Tonie Ehlen and further specialised in Czech repertoire with František Maxián in Prague. Her passion for song accompaniment led her to study with Konrad Richter in Stuttgart and Hartmut Höll at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, as a duo with baritone Robbert Muuse. She later took lessons with Julius Drake in London.
As a chamber musician and song accompanist, Micha frequently performed in recitals with vocalists and instrumentalists, also as a piano duo. She has given concerts at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Paris, the Staatstheater Kassel, Karlsruhe, Stuttgart, Prague and Salzburg and made recordings for Radio 4, NPS, Classic FM, the Italian RAI and Süddeutsche Rundfunk, among others. She also won several prizes, including the Audience Award and the Special Prize of the RAI at the 2003 International Seghizzi Lied Competition, and the 2004 MeesPierson Award in the Young Dutchmen series at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
Besides performing practice, Micha van Weers is active as a piano teacher and gives private lessons to song duos. Annually, she gives master classes to amateur song duos in the Netherlands and France.
For Friends of the Song, Micha forms a song duo with Robbert Muuse, and with Karolina Hartman.
