New album by Ron Adelaar

Ron Adelaar’s upcoming album, Jouw Verhaal, Mijn Muziek, is a collection of six piano pieces, each inspired by personal stories that people shared with him in response to a call on social media. Adelaar invited his followers to share their experiences and emotions around love, joy, sorrow, life’s questions, and personal struggles. His aim was to let these heartfelt stories guide his music, allowing him to connect deeply with the emotions that surfaced.

Adelaar composed his music to honor and reflect the lives of these storytellers, creating pieces that offer comfort, joy, and hope. He believes these stories carry a universality, resonating with anyone who may see their own life reflected in them

After receiving a wealth of submissions, Adelaar chose six unique stories that moved him. He translated his emotional responses to each story into music, crafting a composition for each one. This album is, for him, a musical narrative of life’s peaks and valleys, capturing events that mirror the universal human experience. For Adelaar, music holds a unique power to reach the heart, bypassing the reflective process required in reading or speaking, where meaning must first be assigned. In this project, he feels he has found a special blend of heart and mind, where his music meets these six intimate, personal stories with sincerity and depth.

The journey begins with the release of the first single, Een nieuw begin (Frans), on November 1st. It marks the start of a series of singles that Adelaar will share in the months ahead, inviting listeners to follow along as he explores stories of love, friendship, resilience, loss, joy, and sorrow. These emotions, he believes, are universal; they connect us all. In his view, life’s meaning is enriched not only through beautiful, loving moments but also through the valuable lessons of difficult times.

Jouw Verhaal, Mijn Muziek will be fully released on January 17, 2025. Until then, Adelaar will share each piece as singles on streaming platforms, inviting listeners to join him on this journey of shared experiences, one story at a time.
