Concerts & Presenting

Book Jacques-Pierre Malan & Chamber Music

Concert enquiries for presenters, hosts and cultural institutions interested in cello recitals, chamber music and collaborative projects.

A Shared Starting Point

A programme shaped around its audience.

Jacques-Pierre Malan is a South African cellist based in Baltimore and the Founder & Artistic Director of JP Malan Concerts. His concert work brings together solo performance, chamber music and collaboration with musicians from the United States and abroad.

Each enquiry begins with the presenter or host, the audience and the setting. The format, participating artists, repertoire and schedule are then discussed for the particular engagement; the examples below do not imply that every format is always available.

Concert Formats

Recitals & Chamber Music

Cello & Piano Recitals

Presenting Settings

Concerts in Communities

Enquiries are welcome from senior living communities, house-concert hosts, churches, cultural institutions and embassy presenters. Engagements are arranged directly with each presenter or host.

Existing projects range from intimate salon recitals to quartet programmes and international collaborations. A house concert or community event is approached with the same attention to the audience and the room.

  • Venue and city, including the kind of room or presenting setting
  • Proposed date or dates, with any flexibility
  • Expected audience and the nature of the occasion
  • Whether a piano is available at the venue when the proposed format needs one
