Matthijs Verschoor studied in Amsterdam (MMus Sweelinck Conservatoire), London and Rome with Bart Berman, John Bingham and Willem Brons. He has given recitals throughout Europe and has performed with a number of orchestras. He has also broadcasted many works from Bach to Messiaen, but also neglected composers like Korngold. His recording career for RCA, Etcetera and Erasmus started early, with works by Bach, Scarlatti, Handel, Beethoven, Chopin, Korngold (the complete sonatas), Rachmaninoff and Scriabin. His playing is universaly acclaimed by the press as "one of the chosen" (Luister) and a "superb pianist" (Gramophone). In 1987 Matthijs Verschoor was appointed professor at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Since then, he worked with students from England, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Russia, Israel, Austria, US, Canada, Japan, Korea and Holland. He has recently given masterclasses at Trinity College of Music and Drama and the Hochschule für Musik Berlin.
