Jan Willem Rozenboom
Pianist Jan-Willem Rozenboom performs classical works by Bach, Beethoven and Schubert, exploring the power and intimacy of solo piano.
Jan-Willem Rozenboom (born 1974) is a Dutch pianist, composer and producer who moves freely between two musical worlds: for over twenty-five years he has been the regular pianist and musical director of pop singer Guus Meeuwis, co-writing hits such as 'Brabant' and 'Tranen gelachen', while also pursuing a serious career as a classical soloist. He graduated cum laude from the Brabants Conservatorium and continued his studies under Rian de Waal at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. As a classical pianist he has built his reputation around Bach - particularly the Goldberg Variations and Das Wohltemperierte Klavier - and Schubert, making his debut in the Main Hall of the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam in May 2023.
Rozenboom announces his new album 'Das Wohltemperierte Klavier', which will be released on 11 October 2026 after seven years of preparation.
The magazine Luister publishes a review of Rozenboom's new recording of the Goldberg Variations.
On 21 March 2026, Bach's birthday, Rozenboom releases his new CD with the Goldberg Variations (recording 2025); the presentation takes place in the Zuiderkerk in Amsterdam.
Rozenboom is a guest on the NPO Radio 1 programme 'Nooit meer slapen' to discuss his new Goldberg album.
In the summer of 2025, Rozenboom stays for almost three months as a guest at the Trappist monastery Onze Lieve Vrouwen van Koningshoeven in Berkel-Enschot, in preparation for the recordings of Das Wohltemperierte Klavier.
