Full biography Hans Henkemans
Hans Henkemans (1913-1995) was a Dutch composer, pianist, and music educator. He began his musical studies at the Amsterdam Conservatory, where he studied composition and piano with famous composers such as Sem Dresden and Willem Pijper. He then continued his education in Italy and Austria, studying conducting with Carlo Zecchi and composition with Joseph Marx.
Henkemans composed works in a variety of genres, including orchestral works, chamber music, and solo piano works. His early works are characterized by neoclassical tendencies, but later he explored more modernist concepts and experimented with different techniques. Some of his most famous compositions include "Concerto per violino ed orchestra" (1950), "Divertimento for Chamber Orchestra" (1953), and "Aubade for Flute and Harp" (1962).
Aside from being a composer , Henkemans also had a successful career as a pianist and educator. He was a professor of piano at the Amsterdam Conservatory from 1950 to 1983, and many of his students went on to become successful musicians in their own right. He also performed frequently as a soloist and chamber musician.
Overall, Hans Henkemans was a significant figure in the Dutch music world in the mid-20th century. His compositional style was influenced by both neoclassical and modernist tendencies, and his dedication to music education had a lasting impact on many young musicians.
