NIKOLA MEEUWSEN, PIANO

BIO: 

Critics praise Nikola Meeuwsen (born 2002) for his rich palette of colours, compelling artistic vision, and personal style, which balances power with poetry.

He draws deep inspiration from the individualistic and expressive style of Romantic-era musicians such as Horowitz, Cortot, Heifetz, Kreisler, Rachmaninov, Cziffra and Gould.

In 2025, Nikola became the first Dutch pianist to win First Prize at the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels in 2025. Later that year, Janine Jansen named him as Artist-in-Residence for her International Chamber Music Festival Utrecht in 2026.
