Mr Andre van Haren
Andre van Haren was born in 1963 in Holland.
He started to play piano when he was 16 years old. After six years of piano lessons at the music school in Zevenaar and later with Lilian Lepiet in Velp, he moved to the conservatory in Utrecht to get his teacher degree to teach classical piano. Five years later, he did his final exam on September 10, 1990, and started seriously to compose. He took lessons by Henk Alkema who teaches composition at the same institute and did his final exam in composition on March 3, 1995. After his graduation, he used all his time to compose, writing mostly for voice. His musical style is very tonal.
Next to his music, he also writes books for children. His book "Misscha and the Dark Shaman" is published with Free Musketeers (www.freemusketeers.nl) in Holland.
On the 11th of April 2003, he moved to Gothenburg in Sweden, where he got married on May 9th.
