The 11th Organ Academy will be held during 17- 26 of June and consists of workshops, masterclasses, concerts and excursions. Registration is possible either as an active or non-active participant. During the Academy, which is open to students, and both professional and amateur organists, participants will enjoy extensive guidance from international specialists.
The repertoire for the academy has been chosen to demonstrate the relationship between the music and the special characteristics of the teaching organs.
The lessons will take place in the Grote St Laurenskerk in Alkmaar, utilising both of the world famous organs; the Van Covelens organ of 1511 and the 1646/1725 Van Hagerbeer/Schnitger organ. Classes will also be held on the beautiful Müller organs of the Lutherse Kerk (1755) and the Kapelkerk (1762) in Alkmaar, and the Grote Kerk in Beverwijk (1756). The academy provides, therefore, a unique opportunity for organists to gain experience of playing on some of Europe's most inspiring historic organs.
The faculty of the international organ academy will consist of the following renowned organists:
Jean Ferrard, Royal Conservatory, Brussels
Karin Nelson, Gothenburg
Maurizio Croci, “Haute Ecole de Musique”, Lausanne/Fribourg
