Pianolab Amsterdam – Concerten with the piano as its focal point

at het Goethe Institute on the Herengracht

From 2006 to 2012, many Dutch and international musicians performed in the charming room of the Goethe Institute in the center of Amsterdam.

Gallery of Tones was given the space to organize this series around the piano, so that the audience could enjoy the sounds from a beautiful Steinway Grand. The full program and recordings can be found under ‘events’. Also watch HD video recordings on the youtube channel Gallery of Tones – Pianolab Amsterdam

Peter Jacquemyn

Bass, Performance

His concerts and performances are spectacular. With unbridled energy he wrestles with his double bass. A fight in which all means are permitted: Bows (1,2 or 3), dented beverage cans, plastic bags, crumpled paper, mufflers, brass, re-tensioned strings, ... This places Peter among Belgium's most interesting improvisation musicians with a justifiable international reputation.
