Ramon van Engelenhoven is considered one of the greatest young Dutch pianists. After his successful debut, the pianist returns to the Recital Hall of The Concertgebouw with preludes by Rachmaninoff, film music by Bernard Herrmann and new music by Ramin Amin Tafreshi.

Van Engelenhoven presents an extremely diverse program this evening. After a beloved sonata by Mozart, you will hear the latest collaboration with composer Ramin Amin Tafreshi in a world premiere of a major work that will reflect on questions and tensions of our time. After intermission, you will hear music by composers who have all lived on the West Coast of the United States, but whose roots were elsewhere. Famous preludes by Rachmaninoff will be followed by film music by Franz Waxman and Bernard Herrmann, including a suite from Hitchcock's Vertigo, composed and arranged by Van Engelenhoven.
