After his Codarts Master degree Prewien received media attention from national Dutch broadcasts. In December 2019 he performed for VPRO ‘Vrije Geluiden’ followed by a short-documentary filmed by NTR, ’Iedereen Verlicht’. Prewien’s mission is to create awareness about the vibrant Indian Classical music scene in the Netherlands.
