About Philip Vlessing
(05/12/1905 - 04/30/943)
Philip Vlessing was making a name for himself as cellist and composer in The Hague when his father died in May 1934. Together with his sister Netty, he took over his father's music school and many of his amateur (wind) orchestras. This meant his income was more secure but there was less time for composing. Still, his music was performed on the radio until the Nazis banned all music by Jewish composers. Vlessing composed chamber music, works for orchestra, for (amateur) wind orchestra as well as entertainment music under the pseudonym Jack Bottle.
