Thanks for listening and visiting my profile. Appreciate it!
I am Geert Veneklaas, a Dutch composer of contemporary neoclassical music for solo piano. I started playing the piano at a young age, driven by my broad musical interest and my desire to understand how music works.
Although my training as a music teacher might have pointed towards a career in education, I chose to follow my passion and became a keyboard player in a rock band. Despite charting in the Dutch charts and touring the club circuit, I eventually decided to end my pop career and focus on developing myself as a composer and arranger. This led to several accomplishments, including scoring for a short film that was screened at several international film festivals.
In recent years, I have refocused my attention on composing contemporary classical piano compositions, drawing from my roots. I released my first compositions in 2021, and released my first album 'Reflections' in 2023.
More to come, so follow to stay tuned!
