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."
The summer organ concert season is about to start with lots of concerts. In June, Matthias is playing three concerts in the Netherlands, in Woerden, Middelburg and Amsterdam.
In July the series in the Netherlands continues with two Bach concerts in Kampen and Goes, a thematic concert in Ede around the Mendelssohn organ works and the Bach works that influenced those, and a programme full of Dutch and North-German baroque in Leens, including Christiaan Winter's complete suite 'Leeftocht' (2021).
Finally Matthias plays a concert in the cathedral of Brussels with Alain, Duruflé, Liszt, and others, and again the Bach/Mendelssohn program at the famous Hildebrandt-organ in Naumburg (Germany)
