Dutch composer, violinist and organist. Son of Johannes Nozeman, a
travelling actor, and Anna Rijndorp, he was born in Hamburg during one
of his father's tours. He grew up in The Hague and Leiden, where his
father most often performed. In 1710, after his father death, he settled
in Amsterdam. There he was a regular performer at the theatre
(1714-1716) and in 1719 he was appointed organist of the Remonstrantse
Kerk, in a post he held the rest of his life. As a composer, his extant
works include a set of songs and two collection of violin sonatas which
show a typical style of the period in a mixture of the sonata da chiesa
and da camera types. In 1717, he married to María Geertruida Costerus
with whom had two children, Cornelius Nozeman (1721-1785) and Jan Willem
Nozeman (1733-1768).
