Johannes Schenck

vl, 1660-1712 NL, Amsterdam
Musician / Composer of Classical

Johannes Schenck (or Schenk, 3 June 1660–after 1712) was a Dutch musician and composer.Schenck was born in Amsterdam and baptized in a Catholic hidden church. He became a renowned virtuoso viola da gamba player.There is some uncertainty about the date of Schenck's death as there is no mention found in the Düsseldorf Protestant church records or parish and cemetery records in Amsterdam. His last known published work appeared in 1712. He is no longer mentioned in the list of court musicians compiled in 1717.
