De Haske Music

In 1983 Jan de Haan created De Haske publishing house in Oude Haske ("old Haske"), Holland. As composer of music for concert band and a conductor of various concert bands Jan de Haan began the business selling solely his own compositions. Later he added works by many young successful composers including his brother Jacob de Haan and the Belgian composer Jan Van der Roost. After a short time the publishing house moved into a larger purpose built building in Heerenveen in the north of Holland. De Haske rapidly made a name for itself in many countries around the World and in 1989 the first local branch was opened in Switzerland, followed by the USA (1995), Germany (1996), France (1997) Italy (1998) and United Kingdom (2000).
