Dutch composer/pianist Joep Beving has been one with the piano from an early age. After self-releasing his debut album “Solipsism” in 2015, Beving became a viral sensation of the contemporary classical streaming world. His music has since been streamed over half a billion times, and he has performed sold-out shows around the globe.

With his 4th album, “Hermetism” (2022), he returns to his solo piano roots. Inspired by ancient philosophy, Beving’s latest project is an album in search of universal ideas. “I hope that it will have a comforting and communal effect on listeners,” says the artist. “Hermetism” blends poignant melancholy with an offer of hope, spanning twelve new tracks recorded on Beving’s cherished Schimmel piano.
