From Mozart To Minimalism- Maureen van IJzerloo: Piano

Maureen van IJzerloo began piano lessons at the age of five and soon impressed with her musicality and sense of expression. At eleven, she performed during the Piano Three-Day Festival in the Main Hall of De Doelen, an experience that marked the beginning of her musical journey. Since 2021, Maureen has regularly attended masterclasses with Wibi Soerjadi and participated in his Summer Course at Villa Peckedam, where she performed Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 12 together with him. In October 2025, she graduated from Codarts University of the Arts in Rotterdam, where she studied under Nino Gvetadze. Together with Marianne Hansen, she forms a piano duo that has performed since they were twelve years old. Their performances are marked by a refined and sensitive touch, combined with strength, expressivity, and remarkable attention to detail. The duo has appeared in prominent venues, including the Jurriaanse Hall of De Doelen, and at classical music festivals such as the Festival d'Anniviers in Switzerland. In 2025–2026, Maureen and Marianne are touring Europe with their Fantasy Tour, performing in England, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Scotland. In addition to her duo work, Maureen also performs as a solo pianist, with a repertoire ranging from Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin to contemporary piano music and her own compositions. In May 2026, she was invited as a guest artist at the Gelderlandfabriek, where she performed her own composition and also played four-hand repertoire with pianist Wibi Soerjadi, which was a significant artistic highlight. Through her expressive playing, she seeks to reach a wide audience and share the power of music, inviting listeners to experience a deeply personal and moving musical journey. The program From Mozart to Minimalism reflects this journey through time: from classical masterpieces to contemporary music and original compositions, guiding the audience through different musical worlds in a storytelling concert experience. www.maureenvanijzerloo.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajycty7Ph2k Art Base, Sunday 25/10/26 19h, 17,50E ( reduced 12,50E for students under 26 and jobseekers), 29 rue des Sables Zandstraat, 1000 Bruxelles, https://www.art-base.be.
