Job ter Haar

Job ter Haar studied at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague with René van Ast, Lidewij Scheifes, and Anner Bijlsma. During and after his studies he specialized in playing chamber music. With his baroque ensemble Musica ad Rhenum he has made a great number of CDs, which distinguish themselves through the use of historical tempi and rubato. In recent years he has delved further into classical and romantic style, with groups such as the Van Swieten Society, the Hortus Ensemble and the Archduke Ensemble. Above all, his interest is in the use of early nineteenth century expressive tools. Next to his performing career, Job ter Haar is teaching research at Codarts Rotterdam. In 2019 he completed his PhD at the Royal Academy of Music in London, about the playing style of the 19th century cello virtuoso Alfredo Piatti.
