Daniel Verstappen is a Belgian international pianist and composer, known for his distinctive cinematic and neoclassical musical language, bridging classical piano tradition with filmic storytelling, contemporary composition, and cross-cultural collaboration. Doors open 6:30pm for a 7pm show start. Show duration: 70 minutes.
Daniel studied piano and double bass at the Lemmens Institute in Leuven and has built an international career over the past decade, performing across Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. His performances have taken place at leading venues including the Sydney Opera House, Carnegie Hall (New York, pictured), EXPO Dubai, and the JIO World Centre in Mumbai, where he performed at the invitation of the Belgian Embassy in the presence of Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid of Belgium.
Daniel’s artistic work sits at the intersection of concert music and film music. His compositions and arrangements are often described as emotionally layered, evocative, and highly visual, with a strong sense of narrative flow, rhythm, and atmosphere. Alongside his solo projects, he frequently collaborates with orchestras, choirs, and local artists, using music as a vehicle for cultural dialogue and connection.
In 2024, Daniel was part of the artistic programme at Te Atamira, presenting a concert within his Reconnection World Tour and leading a piano masterclass. This earlier collaboration laid the foundation for his return in 2026, this time in the form of an artist residency in Queenstown. During the residency, he will focus on the creation of new work while engaging in workshops, masterclasses, and collaborative sessions with local musicians and young artists, in close dialogue with the Te Atamira community.
Daniel’s 2026 visit to New Zealand is part of an extensive national tour, including performances and collaborations in Hamilton, Auckland, Dunedin and Christchurch, as well as the recording of new repertoire on the South Island.
