Herman Krebbers (1974)

Herman Krebbers (18 June 1923 – Tilburg 2 May 2018) was a Dutch violinist.[1]

Born in Hengelo, Overijssel, Krebbers studied in Amsterdam with Oskar Back.[2] He gave his first concert at age 10.[3] In 1943, Krebbers debuted with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. During the Second World War, he became a member of the Nederlandse Kultuurkamer, under the control of the Third Reich. This subsequently led to a 2-year ban on performances by him after the war.[4]

In 1950, Krebbers became co-concertmaster (leader) of the Residentie Orchestra, along with his childhood friend Theo Olof.[5] Krebbers became concertmaster of the Concertgebouw Orchestra in 1962.[2] In parallel, he had a career as a soloist and a chamber musician, and taught at the Amsterdam Muzieklyceum (now the Conservatorium van Amsterdam) for many years.

Krebbers suffered a shoulder injury from an accident on his boat in 1979,[3] which forced him to resign from the Concertgebouw Orchestra in 1980.[6] He then focused primarily on teaching, with his work at the Amsterdam Conservatory. His students included Frank Peter Zimmermann, Peter Tanfield, Jeanne Lamon, , Rudolf Koelman, Szymon Krzeszowiec, , Emmy Verhey and André Rieu. He also served as chairman of the jury for the 1996 Leopold Mozart Violin Competition.[7] He curtailed his teaching activities in 2001.[3]
