Nils Frahm - The Concertgebouw

Neo-classical

Nils Frahm is considered one of the founders of the neo-classical movement and is one of the most adventurous and unconventional composers in this genre. When defining the space between classical and electronic music, almost no other name is mentioned as often as Nils Frahm's. His unconventional approach to the piano, an age-old instrument, played contemplatively and intimately, and the combination with spherical electronics have won him many fans around the world.

Musical universe

In addition to piano/grand piano, Nils Frahm also plays (modular) synthesizers and drum computers and has built an impressive setup of keys, buttons and cables around him. The result is a new musical universe of melodious piano sounds, ambient soundscapes, electronics, percussion and experiment; such a virtuoso trip with lots of dynamics and tension blurs the sense of time. Frahm intends to continually reinvent himself through his instruments and to take his audience on a unique trip during a concert.
