Frank van Bommel

is a pianist who has diversity at his fingertips, with a particular affinity for melodic figures. He started with classical piano lessons from an early age, and received improvisation lessons from Misha Mengelberg. From the nineties on he forms or participates in several ensembles that perform his compositions, linked to contemporary music-influences and improvisations. He collaborated with theatre ensemble De Appel, with Willem Breuker and Eric Vloeimans in The Dolphy 2000 Project, and worked on the theatre plays Victoria and Poëzie is mijn adem (Poetry is My Breath) by Felix Strategier.
