    Comments Off on Happy new Year!
    Dear friends, As the full swing of the Festive Season lingers in the last few days of 2020, I want to take a minute to thank you for your loyal and valued support this year. Since my last blog I have had a couple of celebration concerts with Nataniël, performed with Dutch singer Amira...

    Comments Off on An update from lockdown: Slowly but surely
    What an indescribable feeling it is to start booking dates for concerts again. The last few months have been the most surreal experience in any performing musician’s life, and I am glad to say I have been quite surprised by the effect of the pandemic – not only on my work, but on my...

    Over the last couple of weeks, the entire world decelerated at a dazzling pace due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If you are fortunate enough, this unavoidable lockdown in South Africa offers the comfort and familiarity of your own home and all the leisure time you have always wished for, but served in a completely...

    Comments Off on 20 years on stage with Nataniël
    I can distinctly remember the first time I saw Nataniël on stage in Bloemfontein’s Sand du Plessis Theatre and how fascinating and funny I found him. I must have been 14 years old and instantly became a fan. I even remember getting home that night and repeating his stories verbatim to my parents. The highlight of every...

    Comments Off on Elbphilharmonie début
    In May 2019 I visited the Steinway factory in Hamburg, Germany, to choose a new model C-227 grand piano for the Atterbury Theatre in Pretoria. On the day of the selection I coincidentally received an invitation from German pianist Joja Wendt to perform as guest artist in his concerts at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg...

    Finally. My first solo album is out. For most people a solo endeavour like this one might seem pretty straight forward, but it was very much a group effort and I owe my gratitude to so many who have helped me create this. It took me years to find a project or repertoire I...

    Comments Off on New Steinway for Atterbury Theatre
    It is quite hard to make an upgrade. As I am writing this on a flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town I am more than aware of how sometimes the leap to the next level seems impossible. The Atterbury Theatre is one of Pretoria’s most successful theatres with a wide selection of Afrikaans and...

    Comments Off on Piano Tech Urs Bachmann
    Geeks. Nerds. They are the people who make the world turn, computers work and aeroplanes fly.  I have been keeping it a secret that on a deeper level of consciousness I have always dreamt of being one. Let me explain: I think nerds are passionate about something that involves great detail and they try...

    Comments Off on My hair
    Almost two years ago I decided to have my hair cut short and colour it dark brown. This was the first time ever I felt the urge to make such a radical change to my appearance. The reason was mainly a strong desire for something new. Comments started pouring in and boy oh boy...

    Comments Off on CUTTING BACK
    As I am writing this, I am looking out into my garden. After a recent visit by my mother my very well-established garden had a major upgrade. This came in the form of vast amounts of plants and bushes being ripped out and fresh new members being welcomed into the soil. One more significant...
