Peter-Jan Wagemans Peter-Jan Wagemans (The Hague, The Netherlands, 7 September 1952) is a Dutch composer. Wagemans studied organ (diploma 1974), composition with Jan van Vlijmen (diploma 1975) and music theory (diploma 1977) at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague in The Netherlands. After his studies he also worked with Klaus Huber in Freiburg, Germany. It is his belief that a work of music is shaped in the observation of the listener. Therefore Wagemans tends to focus on ways a work can be recognised, rather than its fundamental structure. He generally makes use of what he prefers to call musical archetypes, unifying ambivalent elements. Peter-Jan Wagemans is one of the founders of the Rotterdam School; and teaches composition and music theory at the Rotterdam Conservatory in The Netherlands since 1984. Wagemans founded the Dutch Doelenensemble and for some years was also artistic director of the Amsterdam-based Holland Symfonia as well.
