Info

Jacob de Haan was born March 28, 1959 in Heerenveen, Holland. He received his musical education at the State Music Academy in Leeuwarden, where he studied organ and school music. Subsequently he lectured in arranging at the same academy.

Jacob de Haan lives in the city of Rotterdam, where he mainly works as a composer. Jacob de Haan is often invited as a guest conductor to perform his own works and as an adjudicator at international contests. As a guest conductor he worked among others in Australia, Switzerland, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Italy, France and Belgium. Besides he produced various CD-recordings with professional concert bands at home and abroad.

Jacob de Haan grew up in a musically orientated family. Via his piano and trumpet lessons he was, at an early age, able to develop his creativity as a future composer. In the early eightees, when his first works were published, he gained his first successes as a composer of concert band music.

Very famous are his compositions based on soundtrack like combinations of styles. In this respect Oregon was his most successful piece. His repertoire for concert band consists besides of contest pieces in various grades, short concert pieces, popular music and a few marches. Additionally he wrote various arrangements of classical works and chorales.
