I’m a classical pianist from the Netherlands, deeply dedicated to bringing timeless music to life with nuance, clarity, and emotional depth. I’ve spent many years honing my craft through intensive study, international masterclasses, and performances across Europe and beyond. My specialism lies in the classical and Romantic repertoire, from the intricacies of Bach to the sweeping drama of Rachmaninoff and the coloristic world of Ravel. What sets me apart is not only my technical precision and expressive interpretation, but also my ability to connect with diverse audiences—whether in a concert hall, at a private event, or through an intimate recital setting. Beyond performing, I have extensive experience in teaching, coaching, and curating tailored music programmes for events. I understand the atmosphere music creates and work closely with clients to ensure a memorable and moving experience. Whether you’re looking for a performer who can elevate your concert series, a musical touch to your wedding or event, or someone to inspire through lessons and workshops—I’m here to help.
