Jeppe Moulijn (1972) violin concerto

December 16, 2009 08:01

In 1996 I played with an 19th year old Janine Jansen the violinconcerto of Brahms in an amateurorchestra.

The conductor was Jeppe Moulijn. In 2007 I heard the world premiere of this conductor/composer Jeppe Moulijn. The soloist was Joris van Rijn with the Universtity of Amsterdam orchestra Sweelinck. 2 weeks ago I saw Jeppe conducting another amateurorchestra and I asked him if I could get the solopartsheetmusic and a cd of his violinconcerto for my Youtubechannel and he reacted enthousiastic. A week later I had the sheetmuisc and the cd.
