Jan Vayne - Christmas concert 2018

Christmas with Jan Vayne

Get in a Christmas mood with the wonderful piano playing of Jan Vayne. For the seventh time Jan Vayne plays in the Edesche Concert Hall, now a real tradition. A performance by Jan is a wonderful outing for the Christmas holidays with the whole family. But your input will also make for a wonderful evening! Request your favourite Christmas song and enjoy a relaxed, intimate evening just before Christmas.


"Making music, performing: I decide what I do."
"I always wonder what I really like to do. Like the concert in the Edesche Concert Hall, I'm looking forward to that, I think it should happen tomorrow as well. You must want to do it for nothing. Not for money, attention, prestige or that kind of bullshit."
(Read the interview with Jan Vayne.)

Untroubled Jan Vayne

"Almost all people feel the need to talk," says Jan Vayne. "But I sort of talk my way out of it when I'm playing, so I never have to do my best and I have no worries or doubts when I play. That creates a comfortable atmosphere." Talk to me and name a song, hum a tune or give a name. From Abba to Queen and from 'O Holy Night' to 'Hallelujah': Jan Vayne plays what you want! Jan Vayne improvises on the unique Bösendorfer Imperial 290 of the Edesche Concertzaal, certainly using those nine extra keys of the concert grand piano. The musician not only plays on the Bösendorfer, but also on the beautiful organ... And he can do it fabulously well! Spend an enjoyable evening with Jan Vayne in the atmospheric Edesche Concert Hall.


Listen to one of the world's most beautiful wings

Jan Vayne plays on one of the world's most beautiful grand pianos in the new Edesche Concert Hall: the Bösendorfer Imperial 290. This grand piano, extended to eight octaves, is almost three metres long, which is one of the reasons why it produces a magnificent sound. In the Netherlands this concert grand piano can only be found in the new Edesche Concert Hall, a breathtaking opportunity to listen to the famous Jan Vayne together with this unique grand piano. Anna Tyshayeva, from our 'World Pianists' series, remarked about this grand piano: "Real excellent", Wibi Soerjadi about the combination with this concert hall: "phenomenal acoustics" and others: "everything is perfect". The earlier concerts made Jan more and more enthusiastic to come back again: "Fantastic atmosphere, a beautiful grand piano and a beautiful organ!
