Frido ter Beek is a Dutch saxophonist and composer who lives in Buenos Aires. He studied saxophone at the Conservatory of Utrecht and Hilversum Conservatory (now Conservatory of Amsterdam).
In September 2015 he moved from Utrecht to Buenos Aires but continues to participate in various projects in the Netherlands (the Koh-I-Noor Saxophone Quartet, Film Orchestra The Sprockets and Silent Live).
In Buenos Aires, Frido formed a jazz quartet (in 2017 el Club de Disco released his first cd entitled 'Entonces que?') and participated in the Roseti Project (in 2017 the album 'Deshacer' was released). He plays saxophone in the Julian Solarz Grupo, the Sophie Lüssi Quintet and participated in 2018 and 2019 in the international BAJazz festival.
In 2019 he formed a new wind instrument quartet, Sin Palabras. For this ensemble he has written music to accompany silent movies with live music.
Frido recorded three cd's as a soloist:
'Ahuila Maguilé' (2003) 'Entonces que?' (2017) and 'Cuentos de lo profundo' (2020).
He also writes music for cinema and has written pieces for many different groups and ensembles. His compositions can't be pigeonholed in one style, he uses a variety of sources and influences and creates his own musical language.
