Finn Karel treats musical performance as a rigorous intellectual discipline. At fifteen years of age he commands the keyboard with a focus on harmonic structure and rhythmic exactitude. He analyzes the score to execute the explicit intent of the composer.

The Rotterdam Piano Festival featured his work this past season. He successfully translated his studio preparation into a complex live acoustic environment. The audience witnessed a performance defined by absolute metric control and clarity.

De Doelen presents him in concert next year. This engagement marks a transition into professional concertizing. He currently engineers his daily practice to meet the acoustic demands of that hall. You can expect a program that emphasizes polyphonic density and technical endurance.
