Harmen Fraanje

Heralded by All About Jazz as one of the most impressive European pianists of the past decade, Harmen Fraanje is a Dutch jazz musician and composer with a unique voice in contemporary improvisational music.

Thanks to his collaborations with leading musicians such as Ambrose Akinmusire, Mark Turner, Arve Henriksen, Trygve Seim and Han Bennink, he has now become a major figure on the European jazz scene.

His music breathes lyricism and introspection, with a refined balance between minimalism and expressive depth creating soundscapes of delicate beauty.

In his playing, jazz, classical harmony, and world music blend organically, making the beautiful surroundings of St Mark's Church the perfect setting for this solo concert.Part of Spark: Jazz from The Netherlands
