Waldemar Moes is a pianist and composer known for his neoclassical style and calming, melodic pieces. Often seen wearing his trademark headwear, he creates what he calls “Music To Listen To”—gentle, atmospheric soundscapes that encourage quiet reflection.
Moes studied piano at the Hilversum Conservatory with Fania Chapiro and later at the Amsterdam Conservatory under Danielle Dechenne. He also attended masterclasses with Jan Wijn and Evelina Vorontsova, experiences that shaped his expressive yet disciplined approach to music.
With a background in law and an interest in chess, Moes brings a thoughtful, structured mindset to his work. His music appeals to fans of both classical traditions and more modern, contemplative compositions. Drawing inspiration from classical greats, he blends timeless elements with a personal, modern touch.
In addition to performing and composing, Moes teaches piano, composition and music theory, helping students connect with classical and neoclassical music. His YouTube series, Talk & Play, breaks down music theory in an accessible way, with episodes like Church Modes Explained reaching a wide audience of aspiring musicians.
Through his growing body of work, Moes offers listeners a calm, focused listening experience—music designed not to overwhelm, but to invite quiet attention and introspection.
