Piano Composer Festival
Op vrijdag 26 april 2024 vindt in Gent de 1e editie plaats van het Piano
Composer Festival. Drie gerenommeerde Gentse pianist-componisten (Matthias De
Jaeger, Pieter Savenberg en Mattias Devriendt, ) fungeren als curator-uitvoerder
van dit uniek evenement. Tijdens een gezamenlijk concert zullen ze elk hun
mooiste werken vertolken. Een unieke samenwerking, een verrassende muzikale
ontdekkingstocht, een meeslepend en feeëriek concert.
1 ding hebben de 3 pianist-componisten gemeen: ze componeren allen toegankelijke
hedendaagse neoklassieke muziek die je meteen doet wegdromen. Toch zijn ze elk
heel apart. Ze componeren en vertolken elk in een andere stijl. Hoewel hun
muziek telkens voor zich spreekt, kan je hun stijlen als volgt omschrijven:

“Writing stories, filling the air with poetry. My fingers are a pencil, the
piano my paper aeroplane.”
