After obtaining his flute- and saxophone teachers certificate Hans Kuijt received his
master’s diploma on baritone saxophone with Cum Laude honours.
In doing this he was one of the first saxophonists in the Netherlands.
His teacher was Henk van Twillert.
The fact that he took the exam playing the baritone does not in any way diminish his
enthusiasm for the other types of saxophone.
For the family of saxes he arranged and played one of the most beautiful works of Astor Piazzolla:
“ The Four Seasons “. Each movement is played on a different type of sax.
Hans also was the main founder of the saxophone quartet “ L ‘ Imprévu “ with which he won
the much coveted “ Vriendenkrans “ prize of the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
At the moment he takes part in several chamber music groups for which he likes to arrange
different kinds of music.
But, in the end, combining saxophone and piano together with Petra Luteijn
still remains one of his most favourite ways of making music.
His passion for playing and music as a whole is also reflected in his other passion: for teaching.
He teaches at the Barneveld Music School where he has built up a saxophone orchestra called
“ Saxus “ . The whole range of saxophones is present and there are forty players.
Hans Kuijt 先擁有笛子和薩克斯風教師執照，接著又拿到Baritone薩克斯風的碩士文憑及Cum Laude獎。在荷蘭，他是第一位擁有這種殊榮的薩克斯風手。師事，Henk van Twillert。他考試時選擇Baritone薩克斯風，並不表示他對其他種類的薩克斯風的熱情有所降低。在薩克斯風家族中，他安排演奏最美麗的曲子之一 Astore Piazzolla.一年四季的變化就需要不同薩克斯風來表現。 Hans 也是薩克斯風四重奏L Imprevu 的創始人之一。在荷蘭，這團體也讓他獲得人人渴望Concertgebouw的Vriendenkrans獎。
最近他參予幾個不同的音樂團體，藉此他想安排不一樣的音樂種類。但是最終極， 搭配Petra Luteijn作薩克斯風和鋼琴的混合還是他最喜歡的音樂風格。
他對演奏和音樂的熱情也反應成他對教育的熱心。
他目前任教於Barneveld 音樂學校，並成立薩克斯風管弦樂團，團名為Saxus。
共40位演奏者，此用到了各音域的薩克斯風！
