DESCRIPTION:The Enneagram of Personalities in 9 movements\, composed by Fra
	nz von Chossy\n\nMirror 9 is a nine-part suite exploring the diversity of 
	human personality\,\ninspired by the nine types of the Enneagram. Each mov
	ement reflects a distinct\nway of seeing\, feeling\, and being in the worl
	d—a musical mirror of a particular\ninner landscape.\n\nThis performance i
	s both a concert and an invitation into the underlying system:\na glimpse 
	into how the Enneagram functions\, and how its psychological patterns\nare
	 translated into sound.\n\nPianist and composer Franz von Chossy presents 
	Mirror 9 in an unusual setting.\nAs the sole live performer\, he is joined
	 on screen by his ensemble—appearing in\nshifting environments\, from conc
	ert stage to recording studio. Interwoven\nvisuals introduce the different
	 personality types\, offering musical and\npsychological insights into eac
	h archetype.\n\nFranz von Chossy has established himself as a constant for
	ce in the Dutch and\ninternational music scene. Known for his boundary-pus
	hing compositions and\ngenre-crossing approach\, he won the Dutch Jazz Com
	petition with his trio for\ntheir “original\, dynamic\, and often virtuosi
	c interplay” and received the “Best\nSoloist” award for his subtle\, spaci
	ous\, and personal playing. In 2009\, he also\ntook second place in the pr
	estigious Montreux Jazz Solo Piano Competition.\n\nVon Chossy’s five album
