Nieuwe Kerk Concerten Haarlem is a series of classical (chamber) music concerts, programmed by the Pianoduo Amacord.
We organize 7 concerts per season with passionate musicians from home and abroad in all possible line-ups. In addition to renowned professionals, we also offer a platform to young talent. We hope to welcome you in the beautiful Nieuwe Kerk!
“We want to offer a stage to both renowned musicians and young talented colleagues, with a mix of ensembles, soloists, duos and trios, who present high-quality programs in which there is room for new music in addition to the standard repertoire. We notice that it works particularly well to program this new music alongside the better-known repertoire and have it explained in an accessible manner by the performers.”

We zijn zeer verheugd om op 12 april 2025 het pianowonder Mikkel Myer Lee (12!) in onze serie te ontvangen.
Mikkel Myer Lee schreef in 2022 op negenjarige leeftijd geschiedenis in Singapore toen hij de complete cyclus van Chopins 24 Preludes op. 28 uitvoerde tijdens een uitverkocht recital in het Esplanade Theater. In juli 2022 volgde een uitverkocht concert in Victoria Concert Hall met Chopins Concerto nr. 2 en Beethovens Concerto nr. 3. Een jaar later, in juni 2023, werd Mikkel de jongste pianist ter wereld die in het openbaar zowel het Pianoconcert nr. 1 als nr. 2 van Chopin uitvoerde in de Esplanade Concert Hall. De muziekcriticus van de Straits Times, Dr. Chang Tou Liang, prees hem als “onberispelijk in de technisch meest uitdagende passages” en dat “zijn muzikale frasering zo natuurlijk was als het ademen zelf”.
Mikkels buitengewone gave voor muziek al duidelijk toen hij nog maar zes jaar oud was, toen hij na een paar maanden muzieklessen begon met het op gehoor spelen van pianostukken. Toen hij zeven jaar oud was, had Mikkel al topprijzen gewonnen bij de Grand Virtuoso International Piano Wedstrijden in Salzburg en Amsterdam. Sindsdien heeft hij Singapore vertegenwoordigd op prestigieuze podia, waaronder het Mozarteum in Salzburg, Het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam en werd hij uitgenodigd om op te treden in Carnegie Hall, New York.

MIKKEL MYER LEE
Labelled as a “piano maestro” by The Straits Times, Mikkel Myer Lee made history in Singapore at the age of nine when he performed the complete cycle of Chopin’s 24 Preludes Op. 28 at a sold-out recital in the Esplanade-Theatres on the Bay in February 2022. In July 2022, he followed this with a sold-out concert at Victoria Concert Hall, performing Chopin’s Concerto No. 2 and Beethoven’s Concerto No. 3. A year later, in June 2023, Mikkel became the youngest pianist in the world to publicly perform both Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and No. 2 at the Esplanade Concert Hall, with Straits Times music critic , Dr Chang Tou Liang, praising him as “impeccable in the most technically challenging passages,” and that “his musical phrasing was as natural as breathing itself.”
Mikkel has been recognised among Singapore’s most talented young musicians. As noted by a Straits Times music critic, “In a nation that has produced wunderkinds over the decades – such as pianists Abigail Sin, Mervyn Lee, and Toby Tan, as well as violinists Lee Huei Min, Tang Tee Khoon, and Chloe Chua – Mikkel Myer Lee is the youngest. He might just be the most prodigious one of them all.”
Born to non-musical parents, Mikkel's extraordinary gift for music became evident at just six years old when, after a few months of basic music appreciation classes, he began playing piano pieces by ear. By seven, Mikkel had already claimed top prizes at the Grand Virtuoso International Piano Competitions in Salzburg and Amsterdam. He has since represented Singapore on prestigious stages, including the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and was invited to perform at Carnegie Hall, New York. During the pandemic, Mikkel used his talents to volunteer at St. Luke's Hospital, HCA Hospice, and Thye Hwa Kwan Moral Society, sharing the healing power of music with residents and staff. He began formal training in 2021 under Belgian-American pianist Tedd Joselson.
Now 12, Mikkel is launching a remarkable piano recital series, performing the complete 32 Beethoven
piano sonatas in an eight-part series, with the first concert scheduled for December 3, 2024.
