Leen Robbemont composer / arranger

Leen Robbemont was born on 13 August 1952 in 's-Gravendeel in the Netherlands. His musical career began on the Hammond organ. In 1970 he decided to switch to the piano and successfully passed the entrance exam at the Rotterdam Conservatory in 1971. 7 years later he successfully graduated with the endorsement 'teaching practice and solo playing'. He won a prize for the best final examination among pianists. In the same year (1979) he joined the Marinierskapel (Orchestra of the Navy), where he was to play as pianist and percussionist for 20 years. As a soloist, he played the Parade Concerto by Serge Lancen. During the farewell tour of the Netherlands by Captain Bep Warnas of the Air Force Band, Leen also performed the same work as guest soloist. The final concert of this tour has also been released on CD.

He made several arrangements for the Marinierskapel, including Solfeggietto (for solo piano and band), which was published by Tierolff. After this time, his attention turned more and more to the now established company LAR Music (audio productions for choirs and wind orchestras). Since 1998 Leen has been actively associated with Tierolff, for whom he has made almost all recordings and (CD) productions in the field of new releases for wind orchestras: Recording, editing, mixing and mastering. In the early 2020s (when the Corona pandemic broke out) he started adapting the compositions he had done before for wind orchestra.
