Praised for his sensitive, lyrical touch and refined sense of structure, Indonesian pianist Danang Dirhamsyah brings a rare balance of poetry and precision to his performances. His repertoire spans from Baroque to contemporary music, with a special focus on the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and Johannes Brahms.
 

Between 2020 and 2022, Dirhamsyah toured Germany performing Bach’s Goldberg Variations and selections from The Well-Tempered Clavier. His dedication to Bach led to a collaboration with filmmaker Rüdiger Sünner, resulting in his feature as the principal musician for the 2022 documentary Heilige Spiele (Sacred Games).
 

Dirhamsyah has appeared as a soloist and chamber musician at venues and festivals including Superkunst Festival 2025 and Weite Welt Festival 2023, collaborating with renowned artists such as Johannes Fischer, Angela Firkins, Reiner Wehle, Troels Svane, and Iswargia Sudarno. He has performed both classical masterworks and contemporary compositions, including the rarely heard Alban Berg Kammerkonzert, and has worked closely with composers such as Gordon Kampe, Oliver Korte, and Dieter Mack, exploring projects that even extend to Balinese Gamelan.
 

A devoted educator, Dirhamsyah shares his experience with the next generation of pianists through private instruction and his teaching role at a music school in northern Germany. His musical formation was shaped by Iswargia R. Sudarno, Konrad Elser, and Hans-Jürgen Schnoor, with further inspiration from masterclasses with Pavel Gililov, Willem Brons, Tamas Ungar, Wibi Soerjadi, Steven Spooner, Sam Haywood, and others.
