INVITING LOCAL GUEST ARTISTS

Can be a dancer, singer, choir. Always in consultation with the location/organiser.

F.e. In Bulgaria, Congress Festival Varna, summer 2021 we've invited a local choir + famous Bulgarian singer Teddy K. + typical Bulgarian Drums.

The final song was a well-known Bulgarian song with all artists performed together. It's an amazing surprise for the audience and the main concept of BRIDGE BETWEEN CULTURES. Performing during the Reconnection show and giving a fantastic final act at the end.

DANIEL VERSTAPPEN SOLO CONCERT

Also it's possible to organise a solo concert from pianist Daniel Verstappen, which can be hold as well in a smaller venue (with or without screen) as an extra concert in the same week of the main Reconnection Show.

ABOUT DANIEL VERSTAPPEN

"I want to create magical moments of joy, love & happiness. I invite you to step into my world, let the music touches your soul."

Daniel Verstappen is a Belgian classically trained pianist & composer, who connects generations with each other, trough his own music. He has played with world stars such as Anastacia, John Miles, Gloria Estefan, Zuchero, Simple Minds, Chaka Khan, Natalie Imbruglia, Joe Jackson, etc…

After his Master studies at the Lemmens Institute in Leuven, he developed his own musical style, combining classical piano with modern sounds and electronics.

At the Midem Festival in Cannes in June 2017, Daniel Verstappen was positively welcomed by international top producers and publishers. Daniels goal is to put his music literally on the world's map.

On February 5th. 2022, he was invited to represent his country during the "Belgian Day" in Dubai Expo, in the presence of King Filip and Queen Mathilde. On March 19th. he returned again to the World Expo at the outdoor stage of the Belgian pavilion and the day after for the Romanian pavilion. There he played on a grand concert piano from the leading German piano manufacturer Blüthner.

Daniel is a creator who wants to connect generations with each other, striving towards necessary perfection and creating a harmonious symbiosis between classic piano and modern music. Creating crossover music that spans between classical and contemporary electronic sounds

The title of the album RECONNECTION refers to reconnecting with ourselves in a new world. The album was already released in the fall of 2020, during the unprecedented pandemic. Many hearts were warmed by this, during this very difficult period.

On stage all compositions magically come to life in a total experience of 3D visuals, live musicians, dance and choir, which have been performed several times in his own country and abroad. His debut at the Black Sea in Varna (Bulgaria) was a great success with interviews on the major TV & Radio stations, partly thanks to the subtitle BRIDGE BETWEEN CULTURES. In every foreign city where he plays, he invites a choir and/or guest artist from the country.

"In this way I want to connect with the local culture and thereby also limit the CO2 emissions by traveling from Belgium with a large choir." Daniel Verstappen

"I really loved working on Daniel's new song, he is a fantastic piano player" Austin Leeds (Avicii)

"There's something so unique, so powerful in Daniel's music... Each time I listen to it, I feel it touching parts of my soul I didn't even know existed." Mihajlo Utrecht
