Summary

Pianist Tjako van Schie is an acclaimed allround musician. After finishing his piano studies he has been continuously developing new skills in many pianistical fields. Besides playing many solo recitals, doing concert tours, and performing with orchestras, recording cd's and teaching he is well known as accompanist of soloists and as a coach in the field of chamber music. His repertoire is vast, and ranges from Sweelinck, Bach into modern and contemporary music. Besides playing piano Tjako is also working as composer and arranger. Tjako is senior teacher and repetitor at the Amsterdam Conservatory. He also is guest teacher in Porto. 

Biography

Tjako van Schie was born 1961 in Coevorden, The Netherlands. He received his musical education by Ben Smits (who studied with Dinu Lipatti and Clara Haskil) at the Conservatory of Zwolle. After his studies there he followed several masterclasses in a.o. Weimar, where he had lessons with a.o. Jacob Lateiner and Detlef Kraus. He did many concerts in a.o. several European countries, in China, Canada, Venezuela, Antilles, and performed in broadcasts for television and radio. Van Schie nowadays works as performing pianist, teacher at the Conservatorium of  Amsterdam, repetitor, composer, arranger and coach. He is also author of piano related articles. In Porto, Portugal he also works as guest teacher at ESMAE.

He performed several spectacular programs in the past and recorded them on cd: a.o. “The Goldberg Variations BWV 988” (Bach), “Water, source of life” and “Yiddish music from ghetto’s & concentration camps” (with violinist Adriaan Stoet). Besides he played many mixed recitals, as well solo as together with other musicians. Recently he performed Schumann’s “Piano Concerto” in his own arrangement for saxophone orchestra and piano, and Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in blue”.

Tjako van Schie usually strives for performances with a twist. He does not always go the easy road, but tries to take the artistic perspective where standards can be altered or deepened. Besides his highly developed pianistic skills and his poetical nature Tjako has the gift of taking the audience to regions of music beyond the common. His expressive play and modest personality give him the freedom of not focusing on mere virtuosity, but he is reaching for essence. Acclaimed press reviews proof that this quality is seldom seen in nowadays pianists, and that Tjako is very able to proof his point that there’s no life without music.

Besides playing piano Tjako also composes and arranges. Several of his works have been played in public. Also he loves to teach music and has worked with several known musicians from all over the world. For the past 30 years he closely collaborated with saxophonist Henk van Twillert, as well in his saxophone classes as in concerts. Since 2014 he forms a duo with soprano Henriëtte de Groot, performing several programs.

  Etude Review: Great work
  
  "I enjoyed this one. Harmony sounds a lot like Prokofiev's works. But it also has some parts where the melodic line with a strange rhythm reminds me more of Chopin. Anyway, good work."

  Review: Pensive and Moody: A Beautiful Piano Study
  
  "Mr. van Schie has written a very lovely Nocturne which serves as "an exercise for tone quality and harmony." But it is very lovely in and of its own right. While I might quibble about the level designation (primarily because I don't think that a lot of level 1-3 students can easily play or roll a 9th or a 10th), this would make a beautiful recital piece for even an adavnced student. An intermediate student could also learn it and play it well, but I think that it would shine under the skill of an advanced pianist. Why? This piece, while sounding so simple, would require good tone control and lyricism. The chord progressions and modulations are pensive and fresh, innovative yet comfortingly familiar. In short, this would make an excellent addition to any young pianist's repertoire!"

  Review: Left Me Breathless!
  
  "This piece at first glance looks impossible, but, when the repeats rolled around, it became clear that if the hands are properly chosen, it is merely quite difficult. The rhythms and harmonies are gripping from start to finish. I was completely carried away by this captivating music, something which does not often happen to me. It does require a good piano, with the middle pedal in good regulation, and some experience in using it. I recommend this work to all for listening, and to the brave and strong hearted for playing it."

  Review: Clockwork Green
  
  "Well, I find it hard to describe this piece. The best I can say is that the composer does so well all the things I struggle with. If I were looking for a composition teacher, I would be torn between Tjako van Schie and Jay Anthony Gach! From the start, the clock reference is quite obvious, but never trite. The balanced opening and ending worked quite well, a feature that I particularly like."

  Review 2: Nice piece
  
  "Tjako, what a nice piece of music. You have done a great job of conveying your idea of time ticking on. I had the same feeling before I even read your notes on the piece. I took the time to download the MP3 version and really enjoyed listening to it. Good luck with it!"
