Drs Thomas Hengeveld studied literary studies and works as a translator and as a Dutch language teacher at an ROC in his hometown Nijmegen. As a child from a musical family, his love for music developed at an early age. Several performances of Mahler's symphonies by conductors such as Riccardo Chailly, Bernard Haitink, Klaus Tennstedt and (during the 1995 Mahler Festival) Claudio Abbado made an indelible impression. Besides Mahler, his particular interests are French music and lesser-known contemporaries of Mahler, such as Pfitzner, Zemlinsky and, above all, Max Reger.
