Top pianists Sonja Park and Kees Wieringa will perform on January 18 at 7 pm at the Museum of Islamic Art Qatar.
Organised by the Netherlands Embassy in Qatar, the concert 'A Dutch Musical Gift to Qatar' will showcase the iconic Dutch composition Canto Ostinato by composer Simeon ten Holt.
It will be the first time that this musical masterpiece, considered as one of the classics of minimal music, from the Netherlands is performed in the Middle East.
Born in Seoul, Sonja Park was largely a self-taught but talented musician until she met her Professor Alexander Jenner who demanded that she become a professional musician calling her the most talented student he had ever met. With a degree in Piano Performance from the University of Vienna, Sonja has a litany of prizes along with remarkable performances alongside renowned musicians.
Kees Wieringa is a popular Dutch pianist who has performed world-over and also heads the Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum in Qatar. He has a proven track record as directors of multi-disciplinary museums and festivals significant for artistic merit.
