Welcome to the website of concert organist, pianist and church musician Matthias Havinga.
​
Matthias enjoys a busy international concert career. He recorded many CD's, made countless other recordings and runs a successful Youtube-channel. Havinga is organist-titulaire of the Ronde Lutherse or Koepelkerk and liturgical organist of the Oude Kerk, Amsterdam.
He is also Professor of Organ at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
​
Reviews on Matthias' organ playing:
"...playful, sophisticated timing and dangerously quick pedal playing. Havinga masters his profession."
"...pure, true musicianship and an inner feeling for the ‘right’ musical interpretation are expressed in an inimitable way by Matthias Havinga."
​
In August Matthias closes off the summer organ concert season with concerts at the Musikfestival Bremen, playing a Bach program at the Hendrik Ahrend-organ in Worpswede, and in the Mariendom Hamburg where a varied program is planned, featuring works by Sweelinck, Liszt, Duruflé and Alain.
​
Then in September and October Matthias will play concerts at international organ festivals in Odense (Denmark) on the Marcussen-organ of the Ansgarkirke and in Poblet (Spain) on the 2012 Grenzing-organ.
​
In December the Netherlands Bach Society will perform a wonderful program 'Magnificat!' in which the Bach Magnificat is preceded by Christmas music of older German composers such as Kuhnau and Johann Herman Schein.
