Simon van Prooijen X Otilka Quartet

Simon van Prooijen (*2004)  
Simon van Prooijen grew up in a musical family. Listening and analyzing music soon became a passion and since a few years he has been composing various pieces, mainly written for piano solo, but occasionally for ensembles as well. He is currently studying computer science at Leiden University and has been taking a minor in piano at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague with Ksenia Kouzmenko for two years. “For a few years now, I have been unable to let go of the constant series of musical notes flowing through my mind. In the course of my musical career, I hope to always find a way to express words in music” – Simon van Prooijen.

Simon composes for the Otilka Quartet.
