Can I be alone without feeling lonely? When we feel embraced by music, being alone can actually have a healing effect. Neo-Romantic composer-pianist DeLange is known for his melancholic melodies that take you into your memories and emotions and make you feel secure in your own presence. DeLange grew up with the sounds of Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Satie, and Debussy, and this is reflected in his compositions. Because DeLange experiences music in colors and forms (a condition called synesthesia), composing is for him like creating works of art: painting colorful landscapes with the melody as the main subject.

Recently, DeLange's composition 'Tristesse' was selected as one of the highest new entries in the Classical Top 400, and he made his debut in a sold-out Concertgebouw. In Volkskrant Magazine, his music was described as ‘Excellent,’ and his work has now been listened to more than 30 million times worldwide.

During this piano solo concert, DeLange brings the listener back to themselves with music that touches and enchants. In doing so, he creates a bubble in which time and space seem not to exist, only one's own thoughts and the sounds of the piano as a personal soundtrack.

For fans of Yann Tiersen, Ludovico Einaudi, and Ólafur Arnalds.

In the 1950s and 60s, Johnny Cash realized his own 'American dream'. He worked his way up from a cotton picker's son to a superstar with his own television show. He was a true storyteller, but he didn't always stick strictly to the truth. Joost Botman delves into the history of Cash, 'The Man in Black'. His story is full of contradictions: drug use and religion, patriotism and conceit, a family man with a fascination for dark themes.
