Organ Festival Holland 2009


Bach, Sweelinck and the Choir of Canterbury Cathedral

Orgelfestival Holland 2009 will take place between Friday 19th and Sunday 28nd June. The events will take place primarily in the Grote St Laurenskerk in Alkmaar. Following on from the successful Buxtehude weekend in 2007, a similar formula will again be utilised in 2009. The opening weekend will be dedicated to Johann Sebastian Bach, and the closing weekend to Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck.

The opening concert on the 20th of June, a rare chance to hear the famous Choir of Canterbury Cathedral, promises to be an unforgetable occasion.

The Internationaal Schnitger Orgelconcours, the renowned international competition for young organists, provides the festival's 'cantus firmus'.

The jury for the 2009 competition will consist of: Paolo Crivellaro (Italy), Theo Jellema (The Netherlands), Dietrich Wagler (Germany), Reinhard Jaud (Austria) and Bine Bryndorf (Denmark).
