Concerten

Just like last season, we are giving young pianists studying at Codarts Rotterdam ample opportunity. Although the names and repertoire will only be announced shortly beforehand, you can count on a special afternoon.

Aarón Ormaza Vera obtained his bachelor’s degree in 2016 in his native Ecuador and continued his studies with renowned pedagogue Jan Wijn and then with Frank van de Laar at the Conservatory of Amsterdam. He was a Young Master at the most recent Naarden International Piano Festival and will play a varied program in the Pianotalent op Zondag series on November 24.

Damiën Heemskerk was a guest at the Naarden International Piano Festival earlier this year as a Young Master and played the stars from the sky there. In the series Pianotalent op Zondag he will show on October 20 that he is not only an excellent pianist but also a composer: he will play the three ‘Love Impressions’ of his own hand.

In the first concert of the 2024-2025 season, we will see one of the Young Masters of the recent Naarden International Piano Festival. Emanuil Ivanov made a great impression in the Discovery Concerts with his colorful rendition of Ravel’s Gaspard de la Nuit.

A duo of two exceptional musicians: cellist Ella van Poucke and pianist Caspar Vos, both of whom really need no introduction.

The last word on this festival goes to the Ukrainian-Australian pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk. He started his education in Ukraine and moved to Australia at the age of 13 to continue his education there.
