Jan Klare has been active as a saxophonist, bandleader and composer since the mid-1980s and has left little untouched. 

His career spans concerts in many countries, dozens of CD, radio and TV productions, and collaborations with renowned colleagues. Various awards attest to the quality of his work – as founder of the orchestra ‘The Dorf’, he has made his mark in recent years, with a masterclass at the New England Conservatory in Boston, the football opera ‘Duell D/NL 74’, co-founding the label ‘Umland Records’, compositions for ‘New Music’ ensembles and the WDR Big Band, a piece for two wind orchestras, a gospel choir, a rock band, church bells and pyrotechnics, and much more could be listed.
