Perhaps best known for being the co-founder and first conductor of ASKO, which developed into the internationally renowned ASKO Ensemble and later merged into the ASKO|Schoenberg Ensemble, Jan has been a full-time composer since the mid-seventies.
His most recent double album was released on 11 November 2023 in Amsterdam, celebrating his 85th birthday. It contains chamber, orchestral and choral music. Issued by and is available from the label Attacca under ATT 2023167.
