Nikola Meeuwsen (2002) won the GrachtenfestivalPrijs 2022, making him the Artist in Residence for the Grachtenfestival in 2023. Meeuwsen profiles himself as one of the most remarkable young piano talents in the Netherlands today. As a child, he knew he wanted to be a pianist after listening to Horowitz's performance of Rachmaninoff's 3rd piano concerto. Soon his immense talent was recognized: in 2019, the Concertgebouw awarded him the prestigious Concertgebouw Young Talent Award. From an early age, Nikola won several competitions, including the Royal Concertgebouw Competition in 2014 and the Steinway Competition in 2012. He has performed as a soloist with the Residentie Orkest and the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra and has been heard in solo recitals throughout the Netherlands and abroad (Milan, Bologna, Trieste, Faro and Imola).
