About this concert
In een tijd waarin de wereld in brand staat, polarisatie ons meer verdeeld dan ooit en de burn-outs ons om de oren vliegen schept Frerick den Haan orde in de chaos met zijn stilistische composities voor de piano. In zijn muziek experimenteert hij voortdurend met elementen uit de filmmuziek, klassieke muziek en pop / indie muziek, waarbij hij bewust op zoek gaat naar de melancholie van de piano. Hierin schept hij zijn eigen wereld waarin hijzelf en zijn miljoenen luisteraars wereldwijd kunnen ontsnappen aan de hectiek van de dag.
Zijn muziek wordt gecureerd in de populairste Spotify- en Apple Music playlists voor instrumentale pianomuziek en werd onlangs gedraaid op de klassieke zender van de BBC. Het platform 3voor12 Den Haag schreef; “De grootste verrassing van dit jaar” (2023).
Verwacht een show boordevol verrassende muziek voor solo piano afgewisseld met persoonlijke verhalen achter de composities.

Frerick den Haan Biography
Frerick den Haan is a pianist and composer whose music sits at the intersection of impressionism, romanticism, and film music. Hailing from The Hague, Frerick creates a world of his own through his narrative compositions — a place to escape the everyday rush, where chaos transforms into calm and clarity.
He draws inspiration from classical masters like Ravel, Debussy, and Chopin, as well as from jazz and contemporary composers and bands such as Alan Silvestri, Chilly Gonzales, Jóhann Jóhannsson, and Death Cab for Cutie. Always in search of the perfect balance between classical, impressionist, film, and indie music, Frerick emphasizes the melancholic character of the piano in his work.
His music has been embraced by millions of listeners and featured on major editorial playlists on Spotify and Apple Music. In 2021, his tracks were included three times in a row on Spotify playlists such as Classical New Releases, Instrumental Study, Atmospheric Piano, and Piano Chill, as well as Apple Music’s top instrumental playlist. Together with illustrator and animator Sarah Pannekoek, he composed the multi-nominated score for the short animated film L’Étranger, which was screened at both national and international film festivals including FilmOneFest (USA), Framed Groningen (NL), and Longless Film Festival (IT).
In late 2023, Dutch music platform 3voor12 (VPRO) named Frerick one of the year’s standout surprises. In 2024, his music was featured multiple times on BBC Radio 3, where it was handpicked by curators such as Downton Abbey actress Michelle Dockery and Irish musician Niall Breslin.
With roots in both jazz and classical music, Frerick den Haan has grown into a versatile musician. In addition to his own compositions, he plays keys for the Dutch indie pop band Handsome Poets (known for hits like Sky On Fire and Dance The War is Over), sells his jazz CDs in Japan, has performed with Hamid El Kasri — one of Morocco’s most prominent gnawa maâlems — and has composed music and soundscapes for NFT games by The Hague-based artist Beer van Geer.
