Maurick Reuser pianist, composer and broadcaster.
'I have an interest in Japanese art and culture, which gives me a lot of inspiration in my musical career. In recent years, my compositions have won international awards. The scores (various solo, ensemble and vocal/choir pieces) are available from Sonolize . I also study public administration at Tilburg University. ”Refreshing, reflective, nuanced, contrasting, balanced and traditional.
His mature work captivates musicians and audiences alike” (Vanessa Lann , American-Dutch composer)
”What I especially like is that Maurick cleverly weaves all the fabric together throughout the work. There is a great unity, so that all musical moments do not arise separately from each other like grains of sand, but are naturally connected, arise from each other, refer to each other. Several stars under one sky…” (Leo Samama , Dutch composer and musicologist)
Maurick Reuser has an extensive composition toolbox . We'll be hearing a lot more from him!" (Wim Henderickx , Belgian composer)
