Nicolas van Poucke, a Dutch pianist, has been lauded as a “true poetic musician” by De Volkskrant after a recent performance. Born into a musical family, Nicolas started taking piano lessons at six years old and went on to study with David Kuyken and Jan Wijn at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. He was also coached by renowned pianists Martha Argerich, Murray Perahia, and Alfred Brendel.
Nicolas has been performing extensively both in his home country and internationally since a young age. He has been a soloist with various orchestras, most recently performing with the Dutch Chamber Orchestra. Nicolas has given recitals at prestigious venues such as Het Concertgebouw, the Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ, Concertgebouw de Vereeniging Nijmegen, and made his London debut at the Royal Festival Hall in London with Chineke! Orchestra conducted by Roderick Cox performing Beethoven’s third piano concerto.
His discography is steadily growing, with his latest solo album, “In The Moment,” being a direct-to- disc vinyl album featuring two unedited takes of Beethoven sonatas. The album has been praised for its technical skill and emotional depth. His previous release, “The Schumann Collection Vol. l” on TRPTK, received glowing reviews, with critics noting Nicolas’s ability to approach the “musically and psychologically complex world of Schumann with natural ease.” The release of “The Schumann Collection Vol. ll” is eagerly anticipated.
