Dante Boon is a Dutch pianist and composer based in Amsterdam. He became a member of the Wandelweiser composers collective in 2012. He has performed at venues across Europe, East Asia, Canada and the US, and recorded numerous albums, solo and otherwise, for labels such as Another Timbre, A New Wave of Jazz, and Edition Wandelweiser Records. He was a guest lecturer at the 13th Wiener Tage für zeitgenössische Klaviermusik hosted by the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. A three-concert musical portrait of Dante Boon was presented in 2012 at Düsseldorf's Klangraum. In 2013, he was a special guest at Michael Pisaro's Dog Star Orchestra festival of experimental music. In the same year, a retrospective of Boon's music was presented at the Los Angeles performance space the wulf. In 2016, Boon was featured as a performer and composer at Quatuor Bozzini's Performer's Kitchen (Montreal).
Dante Boon's CD ‘clarinet (and piano)’, released on another timbre in 2016, which features clarinetist Jürg Frey, was recommended by Andy Hamilton in The Wire's Top 10 albums of contemporary music. The New Yorker called him a pianist with an "uncommon affinity for music that demands patience, steady hands, and a subtle touch.”
