From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jan Koetsier (August 14, 1911, Amsterdam - April 28, 2006, Munich) was a Dutch composer and conductor.
In 1950, Koetsier became the first Kapellmeister of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. As a composer, he wrote chamber music, and orchestral and choral works, as well as the opera Frans Hals. From 1966 to 1976, he taught conducting at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München.
In 1993, the Jan Koetsier Foundation was established by an endowment from the composer. One of the main responsibilities of the Foundation, which has been based at the Hochschule since 1999, is the organization of the biennial International Jan Koetsier Competition.
