Chiel Meijering

Michael Maria "Chiel" Meijering (born 15 June 1954, in Amsterdam) is a Dutch composer.

Meijering transcribed 55 recorder concertos written for Dan Laurin between 2012 and 2015 for bassoon and string orchestra.

Between July 2016 and March 2018, Meijering composed 117 bassoon concertos and chamber concertos for bassoonist Kathleen McLean, Professor at the Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University, and co-principal bassoon of the World Orchestra for Peace.

These works are in a one movement form, shifting styles within each piece with influences of folk, jazz, avant-garde, funk and classical.

In 2017, McLean received a grant from FPK Holland for a new commission by Meijering for 12 bassoons and strings entitled "The Reed Which Bends in the Wind," to be premiered in Bloomington Indiana on 31 March 2018, and later in Granada, Spain at the International Double Reed Society Conference, 29 August 2018 with McLean and other bassoon artists.
