Rian de Waal - in memoriam -

Steinway Center Nederland is diep geraakt door het overlijden van Rian de Waal.

Rian was een zeer gewaardeerd en bewonderd Steinway Artist. Zijn bijdragen aan het Nederlandse en Internationale muziekleven zijn van onschatbare waarde geweest.

Met vleugelselecties, concerten, adviezen en als jurylid van het Steinway Pianoconcours  was  hij een  vakbekwame steun voor ons en heel veel jonge talenten. Dankbaar kijken wij terug op zijn grote betrokkenheid, inspiratie en vriendschap.

“Dit is dus de cirkel van het leven”- Rian de Waal
