HOME PAGE: 2005: 150 year anniversary of Julius Röntgen’s birth (1855-1932)Julius Röntgen was born exactly 150 years ago. The Julius Röntgen Foundation is dedicated to organizing a number of events to mark the occasion and to keep the memory of Julius Röntgen alive and to make Röntgen’s life and work more widely known.  Julius Röntgen was a Dutch composer and one of the founders of the Amsterdam Conservatory. A key figure in the Dutch music scene at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, he composed numerous works (chamber music, as well as orchestral music), organised musical events, taught the piano, and performed himself. In connection with this Julius Röntgen Year, a Program Book has been published with extensive information about the composer and the concert programs in Amsterdam, Bilthoven and The Hague. The book, entitled “Sentendo Nuova Forza” is available from Albersen, Broekmans & van Poppel and from the Dutch Music Institute (het Nederlands Muziek Instituut). Friends of the Julius Röntgen Foundation You can support the activities of the Julius Röntgen Foundation. As a friend, you will receive a CD with the works of Julius Röntgen and a copy of the biography, which will be published in 2005-2006. You will be mentioned as a donator. In addition, you will be invited for all the special activities that the Julius Röntgen Foundation organizes and we will keep you well informed of all relevant interesting news. For instance, we will keep you up to date with the progress and “discoveries” that the biographer Jurjen Vis makes during his research into the life and work of Julius Röntgen.
