Pianist Hannes Minnaar signs with Interartists
Interartists is delighted to announce that pianist Hannes Minnaar is joining our agency for General Management.
Hannes Minnaar, hailed by Dutch newspaper Het Parool as the pianist who "joins the ranks of the great pianists of our time," has consistently earned praise for his ability to convey the essence of music with spontaneity and naturalness.
His commitment to musical excellence is evident in collaborations with renowned conductors including Herbert Blomstedt, Antony Hermus, Eliahu Inbal, Marin Alsop, Xian Zhang, Edo de Waart, James Gaffigan, David Robertson, Karina Canellakis and the late Jirí Belohlávek and Frans Brüggen. He performed at prestigious venues worldwide, including the Royal Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), Konzerthaus (Berlin), Musashino Hall (Tokyo), and the Great Hall of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory (Moscow).
In 2025, he will make his recital debut in Hong Kong.
Van Baerle Trio
Vitally important to Minnaar’s musical identity is his collaboration with the Van Baerle Trio, founded in 2004 with violinist Maria Milstein and cellist Gideon den Herder.
The trio has released Beethoven's complete works for piano trio for Challenge Classics.
