Ever since the museum was founded in 1991, musicians have found a stage among the visual arts at Museum JAN. For instance, pianist Daniël van Zweden performed with a gypsy orchestra during the official opening of the museum. Repeatedly, van Zweden returned to JAN, mostly together with violinist Micha Molthoff.
On 30 November, Micha Molthoff and pianist Vera Marijt will play a virtuoso concert amidst Jantien Jongsma's narrative folk art. Just like 30 years ago, a romantic piece of music will be performed at the museum in which influences from the Balkans and film music, among others, can be heard.
Micha Molthoff
Over the past few years, Micha Molthoff has emerged as an extraordinary storyteller on the violin, enchanting Dutch theaters with two music-theater programs. His first program, titled ‘A Fiddler on his Route,’ takes the audience on a captivating journey through the history of the violin he plays. This violin, named ‘San Filippo,’ has a unique origin, as it was crafted in 1993 using wood from the floor beams of the renowned Italian Uffizi Museum. The design of this violin is based on the Guarneri, the same model played by the world-renowned violin virtuoso Itzhak Perlman. With an impressive list of renowned names and prestigious stages on his resume, Micha Molthoff has made his violin resonate in famous locations all over the world. He shared the stage with an imposing list of artists, including Herman van Veen, Van Dik Hout, Frédérique Spigt, Toon Hermans, Hector Zazou, and many others.
