B i o g r a p h i e
Piano music has fascinated Pieter Hoogland (1970) since he was a child. At the age of ten he climbed behind the piano himself, when he started piano lessons. First for eight years with classical music, then he began to expand his piano passion to pop songs. He has since built up a wide repertoire of piano music
for every mood and setting. Pieter regularly plays solo at receptions, weddings or other celebrations such as business dinners or benefit events. Over the years he has developed into a seasoned singer, and his musical versatility has grown even further.
Atmospheric repertoire
Over the years Pieter developed a fine repertoire of classical pieces, such as Nocturnes and Waltzes by Chopin and pieces by Satie, Brahms and Beethoven. As a musical counterpart, he plays pop songs by Lennon & McCartney, Billy Joel and Elton John and new songs by Coldplay, Adele and Bløf, among others. In recent years, he has discovered the atmospheric "light classical" of modern composers, such as film scores from The Piano and Schindler's List, and works by Ludovico Einaudi and Yann Tiersen. A wide selection of music allows him to adapt his repertoire to the setting and atmosphere of reception, dinner or party. Here the choice is purely piano music, or piano with vocals. For both, he can perform over 200 songs.
Live music for every setting
Pieter gained experience in performing during a period in Mexico and southern Spain, where he played in various restaurants. After returning to the Netherlands he continued to play regularly in grand cafes and restaurants, including in Leiden where he lives. Meanwhile, Pieter's scope has shifted to festive and official occasions, such as weddings, receptions and business dinners, as well as the opening of an exhibition or a benefit event. Thus he has played at numerous venues, such as the Westerkerk and the Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam, at Keukenhof Castle in Lisse, and Huis ter Duin in Noordwijk. At least as much as he enjoys playing in a casual setting at an informal party.

Pieter provided background music at a party for 55 people. He played music from the 60s to the present with occasional vocals. I enjoyed it. Highly recommended.
, Piet
Pieter Hoogland provided excellent background music at our 50th wedding anniversary party, both during the drinks outside and the dinner inside. He has a very extensive repertoire and has a good sense of the sound level needed without being overpowering with his music. It was easy to make arrangements with Pieter before and during the party. He is very approachable and flexible and also able to improvise as a pianist to accompany a performance. He absolutely contributed to the success of our party. We highly recommend him!

Pieter has given extra atmosphere to our open day. It was also nice that he had studied songs from our region. We enjoyed this day and that was partly thanks to Pieter!
