A well-known example of his composition is Brass Symphony from 1979, which is divided into three movements and arranged for a brass dectet. In 1992, the Jan Koetsier Foundation was established by an endowment from the composer. One of the main responsibilities of the Foundation, which has been based at the Hochschule since 2001, is the organization of the biennial International Jan Koetsier Competition.
