An intimate classical piano concert in your home, performed by a professional concert pianist.
Accessible masterpieces by Chopin, Debussy, Ravel and Liszt, among others, in a relaxed, personal setting.
Including musical commentary and completely tailored to your wishes.
Julian Simmes is a conservatory-trained pianist who guarantees a classical piano act of exceptional quality. With in-depth musical training, virtuoso repertoire and a mature stage presence, he knows how to touch and impress his audience.
His classical concert repertoire includes works from the romantic and impressionist repertoire, as well as technically brilliant and expressive pieces that appeal to both connoisseurs and a wide audience. Julian combines technical mastery with musicality, sound refinement and strong interpretation.
During a classical living room piano concert, Julian Simmes provides a full-fledged classical piano concert in an intimate, domestic setting. This concept is especially for music lovers with a piano or grand piano at home who want to experience a live concert, without a concert hall
but with artistic quality.
The program consists of carefully chosen, accessible classical piano works by composers such as Chopin, Debussy, Ravel and Liszt: music that appeals to a wide audience and is perfectly suited to a smaller setting. If desired, the repertoire can be expanded to include more virtuosic or heavier classical works, in full consultation with the client. Virtually all request numbers are also possible.
Unique to this living room concert is the informal and personal atmosphere. In between the works Julian can give explanations about the music, the composers and the background of the pieces, which makes the concert extra profound and accessible for both connoisseurs and enthusiasts.
The standard price of €850 is based on a concert program of approximately 45 minutes. The playing time can be adjusted in consultation. Repertoire choice and degree of explanation are also flexible and negotiable.
This living room concert is ideally suited for private concerts, birthdays, salons, cultural evenings and small-scale musical gatherings where attentive listening is central.
