Save the date!
The first Belgian Organ Competition will take place on 2 and 3 July 2021 in the Sint-Pieterskerk in Turnhout on the beautiful 1662 Le Royer/1997 Joris Potvlieghe organ.
Although it is a competition, the emphasis is on meeting and fraternising. During the meeting day and the competition, relationships are forged for the future. The best guarantee to give the organ a place in the 21st century.
This first edition is aimed at all non-professional organists who are still taking lessons and is divided into 4 categories: born in 2013-2009, 2008-2006, 2005 or earlier and finally conservatoire students.
The jury consists of Bart Jacobs, Cindy Castillo and Aart Bergwerff with myself as chairman.
In short, another event not to be missed. Save the date!
