Life

Mulder was a son of Pastor JO Mulder in Hattem . His father introduced him to music at an early age and received his first lessons at the music school in Zwolle . The support of a patron made it possible for him to attend the Conservatory in Amsterdam , where he studied piano with Jan Odé and as a minor organ with Jacob Bijster . Afterwards he continued his studies with Eduardo del Pueyo in Brussels. After completing his training, he embarked on a career as an organist and choir director. For many years he was a church organist at the Dutch Reformed Church in Kampen.

As a much sought-after concert organist, Mulder gave around 200 concerts a year in the Netherlands, but also in France, Canada, the United States and South Korea. With his concert program, which usually framed works of classical organ literature with his own chorale improvisations, he was in the tradition of Jan Zwart and Feike Asma . Mulder made numerous records and CDs and was awarded two gold and one platinum records.

In addition to his work as an organist, Klaas Jan Mulder was the conductor of the men's choir Door Eendracht Verbonden (connected by unity ) in Kampen from 1960 to 2008 and of the men's choir De Lofzang ( The Hymn ) in Heerde from 1963 to 2001 .
