Florejan Verschueren
(Belgium, 1978) will be accompanying singer Helmut Lotti on the piano at the Winternatchten festival. He studied in Brussels, Antwerp and Rotterdam, receiving instruction in classical music as well as jazz and world music. Due to his versatility as a pianist and a music director, he is suited to both classical performances as well as musical productions, and is in high demand as a musician by jazz and pop groups. He has worked with groups like Spring, Cookies & Cream, Jackobond and Els De Schepper. He was also one of two pianists on the VRT TV programme "Sing that Song" (2013-14), in which two teams compete in a musical game. While he was still studying, he was approached to compose music for theatre, working with Raam Theatre and Het Gevolg. He also sings and plays his own songs with Old English texts.
