🪷Nelumbo is the result of this two years of work in my master at Fontys. It is also the result of the collaboration and inspiration I’ve gained from the people I’ve known in this process, specially the incredible musicians with whom I had the honor to play with @juan_velez04 @abeltonarts @neslacerda @yik._.toong @ireri_alanis @laura_vd_k @ilse_kok , Angélica Murillo. It is always magical to listen your music being played by real musicians, but specially now I also felt supported and inspired by their love for their craft and their dedication ❤️.

Nelumbo is a ballerina, and there @alexanderwilbert_actor was the amazingly talented artist behind her dance ❤️ he not only created the choreography but helped me understand many things inherent in the movement of a dancer.

My composition teachers @celia__swart__ and @anthony_fiumara who where always a source of inspiration and guided me through the process.

My story telling and animation mentor @dana_alink who walked with me in the creation of the story of Nelumbo.

My family and friends in Perú who are my strength❤️

I hope I can make Nelumbo grow bigger and bigger, but for now I’m already grateful I was to tell and live her story supported by amazing people.

These are some snippets of how the premiere of Nelumbo went on the 27th of June :)

Thank you to all the people who were there, in body or in heart ❤️

ISABELLA CALMET

KOMMA #58 - music, animation
03.10 2026

Isabella Calmet (1996) is a Peruvian composer, singer, artist, and 2D animator whose primary project involves blending classical music with animation, with her animated music films serving as the main expression of this work.
She studied classical orchestral composition at the Music School of the Peruvian University of Applied Sciences. In 2021, after receiving the MEXT scholarship from the Japanese Embassy, she moved to Kyoto as a research student in Japanese traditional music at Kyoto City University of Arts. Isabella has been based in the Netherlands since 2023. In July 2025, she completed her master’s degree in Creative Performance and Composition at the Fontys Academy of the Arts with the distinction “Cum Laude.”

The importance of imagination and storytelling is strongly present in her music and visuals. With a colorful and naive aesthetic, her work seems to emerge from the imaginary world of a child’s dream, where that childlike sense of wonder and discovery forms the key to her artistic process. Playfulness, sincerity, and vulnerability are interwoven in both her music and her visuals. Some examples of her animated musicals include “Underwater,” an orchestral arrangement that immerses you in her childhood underwater daydreams; “Fight Me,” a story about sisterhood, and “Nelumbo,” which centers on a dancer named Nelumbo who struggles to finish a choreography due to an emotional block.

Isabella Calmet responded to the exhibition YARN by @monika.grzymala The performance took place on Saturday 6 June at 3.30pm.

Side quest from today ✨ I got to participate on a beautiful project by @festivalviamusica , the idea consisted in attending some of the concerts on the festival and draw inspiration from the beautiful performances in order to plan a new piece propossal. With a delicious apple pie and some warm tea I got to sketch some new ideas , and the locations where so special that just by being there I was immediately inspired✨
