Sandra and Jeroen van Veen are a renowned Dutch piano duo known for their emotive performances and innovative interpretations of minimalist music, particularly the works of Netherlands composer Simeon ten Holt. Embedded in the contemporary classical world, they have garnered attention for their collaborative and experimental approaches to performance and recording, often involving multiple pianos and a variety of other instruments.

Their artistic collaboration has resulted in a series of remarkable releases that explore the depths of ten Holt's seminal piece, "Canto Ostinato," each version shedding new light on the hypnotic and transformative nature of the music. Their expansive discography includes "Canto Ostinato: Version On Four Keyboards & Synthesizers," which presents a lush electronic landscape, while "Canto Ostinato for Synthesizers" delves into a more intimate rendition of the piece. With "NLXL," they continue to push musical boundaries, and their "Canto Ostinato: In An Arrangement for Two Prepared Pianos" showcases a creative reimagining of the acoustic texture. The duo's interpretation of "Canto Ostinato for two pianos and two marimbas" adds another layer of complexity and richness, demonstrating their versatility and commitment to exploring the vast potential of minimalist music. Sandra and Jeroen van Veen's passion for innovation and their meticulous craft have solidified their status as significant figures in the realm of contemporary classical performance.
