Michel Marang
Michel Marang studied clarinet with Walter Boeykens and finished conservatory cum laude in 1987, the same year in which he also got his degree in philosophy at Amsterdam University. Hereafter he studied with Hans Deinzer (Germany) and took masterclasses with Roger Heaton (England) and Susan Stephens (USA).
Apart from his interests and activities in classical music, theatre, and world music, Marang specializes in contemporary music. He collaborated with many composers, including Olivier Messiaen, Morton Feldman, Edison Denisov and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Over fifty compositions were dedicated to him and he was a member, guest and/or soloist with all the leading new music ensembles in Holland.
As a soloist, Michel Marang performed throughout Western Europe, the USA, Mexico, Canada, Russia, China, Ukraine, Estonia, India, and the Middle East. He gave seminars at many leading institutions, including the Moscow, Shanghai and Paris Conservatories. As a photographer, Marang concentrates on portraits and sequences. His work was exhibited in Amsterdam, New York and Moscow.
