Pianist Thomas Beijer joins Interartists Amsterdam for general management
Interartists Amsterdam is delighted to welcome pianist Thomas Beijer to our instrumental roster for general management.
‘Beijer played with passionate lyricism, his astonishing technique completely in the service of his explosive power of expression.’
De Volkskrant - Jenny Camilleri
A winner of the Young Pianist Foundation National Piano Competition at the age of eighteen, Thomas Beijer was recognized early on as one of the most prominent musicians in his home country. The international jury characterized him as 'an extremely interesting musical personality, with distinctive ideas about music. A true artist.'
Since then, Beijer has been invited for concerts in Europe, Asia and the United States. He has worked with orchestras such as The Residentie Orkest The Hague and Amsterdam Sinfonietta and with conductors such as Neeme Järvi, Gustavo Gimeno, Ed Spanjaard, Bas Wiegers and Lucas Macías Navarro. He is a regular guest of Camerata RCO, the chamber orchestra and chamber music group consisting of members of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.

Thomas Beijer is a versatile musician, with a broad repertoire ranging from seventeenth-century music to contemporary works. And he has a special affinity with Spanish music: in 2019 he performed Isaac Albéniz' complete suite Iberia in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, a recital that was much praised by the Dutch press. De Volkskrant wrote: 'Flawlessly, Beijer guides us into the story behind the notes'. This led to the invitation to make his debut in the serie Meesterpianisten (Master Pianists series) in the main hall of the Royal Concertgebouw.
Beijer is also a passionate chamber musician, performing recitals with musicians such as Quirine Viersen, Simone Lamsma, Judith van Wanroij and Barbara Kozelj.

As well as a performer, Beijer is also a composer. One of his recent works is the song cycle ‘A Lock without a Key’-songs inspired by the COVID-19 lockdown- composed for soprano Laetitia Gerards. They performed the cycle live on Dutch National Radio 4. Currently, Beijer is working on a concerto for jazz violin and orchestra.
Since 2019, Thomas Beijer has been artistic director of the Young Pianist Foundation.
