about

With Johan Famaey, Jolien De Gendt, Annelies Van Hijfte, Geert Baetens and Kamerorkest Chapelle De Lorraine.

Johan Famaey took a western view at Chinese music and moulded old Chinese poems into his own musical idiom. The result is a song cycle in which the grandeur of the opera, the intimacy of Lied, and cinematic music are mixed with a pinch of Chinese tradition.

about

Johan Famaey Hamme, Belgium

Welcome to my cinematic piano world. I’m a Belgian composer and pianist. In 2019 I’ve won the 'Verdi Keurmerk' and 'Cantabile Piano' composition contests.

2020 meant the start of doing what I like to do most: to create magic with music.

Many works have been released and will be gradually uploaded on Bandcamp to enjoy CD Quality audio.

Enjoy listening.

Thank you for following me. ... more
