Marcel Worms

Marcel Worms (piano) studied at the Sweelinck Conservatory of Amsterdam, took lessons with Youri Egorov and Alicia de Larrocha. He is active as a chamber music player and soloist, where he has a preference for thematic programs with music of mostly lesser-known composers. He has dedicated (and recorded) programs to The Second Viennese School, Leos Janáček, Jean Wiéner, Jazz Influences in 20th Century Piano Music, Mondrian and the Music of his Time, Pictures at a Van Gogh Exhibition, Tangos for Piano from Latin America and Europe and recently Frederico Mompou. Since 1996, Marcel Worms has been working on a project for which about 170 composers have written contributions in the form of a blues-type piece. Currently, this music is available on four CD’s.
