Johan de Meij studied trombone and conducting at the Royal Conservatory of Music in The
Hague. His award-winning oeuvre of original compositions, symphonic transcriptions and film
score arrangements has garnered him international acclaim. His Symphony No. 1 The Lord of
the Rings (Sudler Composition Prize) has been recorded by The London Symphony Orchestra,
The North Netherlands Orchestra, The Nagoya Philharmonic and The Amsterdam Wind
Orchestra, among others. His symphonies have been enthusiastically received at many of the
world’s finest venues.
Prior to composing and conducting, Johan de Meij enjoyed a successful career as a trombone
and euphonium player, performing with major orchestras and ensembles in The Netherlands.
He is in high demand as a guest conductor and lecturer, invited to speak about and perform his
works. In 2010, he was appointed regular guest conductor of the Simón Bolívar Youth Wind
Orchestra in Caracas, Venezuela.
