Jānis Ķepītis (1908-1989) was a Latvian Composer. He was a student of Jāzeps Vītols in the Latvian Conservatory. Ķepītis graduated from Vītols’ composition class in 1931, graduating from Prof. Pauls Šūberts piano class just a year later. He graduated from the conservatory a third time in 1934, having studied conducting under Jānis Mediņš.

Ķepītis began his career in music as a pianist and accompanist for Rīgas Radio (1934–1952). In approximately 1933, Vītols established his famous J. Vītols Trio with some of his most promising students: Ķepītis, Voldemārs Rušēvics and Atis Teihmanis. The trio popularised Latvian music by performing widely in concert and being a frequent guest on radio broadcasts.
Ķepītis continued his work as a musician during the Second World War as much as circumstances allowed, but his career truly began to flourish after the war. He completed his opera Minhauzena precības (The Marriage of Munchausen) and the Concerto for violin and orchestra in 1945. He wrote the Symphony No. 1 in 1953. Having thus convinced himself that he was also capable of writing in this genre, he continued composing for symphony orchestra from time to time in the years to come.
