Pianist and composer Douwe Eisenga writes sparkling music for sparkling minds. A hypnotic mix of irresistible rhythm, warm and veiled melodies and compelling lyricism. Honest, down to earth music. Often subdued and sober with a great, silent power: the subcutaneous melodies carve themselves into the soul of the listener.

Over the last twenty years his music has received worldwide attention. He works with, among others, the British writer David Mitchell, the American choreographer Claudia Schreier and the Russian Moscow Contemporary Music Ensemble. Closer to home, he writes music for harpist Lavinia Meijer, pianist Jeroen van Veen, Cello Octet Amsterdam, Slagwerk Den Haag and many others. His music is rooted in rock, pop and world music. All these influences, combined with baroque and minimalism, find their way into his work.

Douwe Eisinga will release his new double album For Mattia – The Complete Recordings on September 6. Just in time for his concert in the St. Aegten Chapel!
