Concert #1

September 11, 2021

Well, this concert that I’ve talked about so much finally happened last night. I had so much fun—I wasn’t nervous at all—that I didn’t take a picture. Not one. That’s not like me at all. Besides, I was a little busy playing piano: song after song.

This cute little guy used to be my piano student. He sat in the very front row with his mom and told her afterward, “I wasn’t bored at all.”

Success.

About Marie de Haan

Marie is a gifted pianist, playing since the age of nine. As a teenager, she composed mainly instrumental piano music. She released her powerful debut single, “I Am Broken,” on October 22, 2020, a song whose creation drew heavily upon the trauma she endured as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Marie held a benefit concert on September 10, 2021, in Skagit County. A portion of the proceeds went to CrossRoads Youth Ranch; this local organization—through equine therapy—empowers “at-risk and sexually exploited youth to heal, grow, and thrive.” She has continued to write music: Christian, folk, and country. Marie loves hiking, gardening, and photography. The Pacific Northwest—where she lives with her husband—is the backdrop for her favorite activities.
