Jazz Organist

After some administrative problems I officially was accepted to Dresden, and now looking for a room there. I am really looking forward to something new, also if it will mean a lot of traveling for me. The semester starts in the last week of September. Among the teachers will be Matthias Bätzel, Till Brönner, Malte Burba and Günter “Baby” Sommer.

Upcoming in September and February 2011 we have two recording sessions scheduled with The New Project.  A band name will be chosen, too, by the way. Connected with those studio dates we booked two small tours in September and February 2011, and an extended tour in December. You’ll find the latest concert dates here at the itinerary page.

I also want to announce that my band triOrgel was chosen to play a set at the Convento Jazz Contest 2010 finals. There are four bands competing for the price of 3000 Euros. The competition takes place Oct 2nd at the Jazzschmiede in Düsseldorf. Everyone welcome to support us!

Thanks for visiting my website. The new design can be seen as a symbol for the turbulent times and the changes I am going through right now. On 25 May I played my graduation recital from the Enschede conservatory which happened to be very succesful. One week later I passed the audition at the Dresden conservatory where I will be studying the graduate programme for Jazz organ from October 2010.

But I did not finish everything in Enschede yet. There are three Bachelor recitals from my friends in mid June and some other concerts where I participate. You can see the details and times here. There are a lot of new concerts coming up after the summer season.

But this website has more to offer than tour details. You can find my musical biography in four languages here. Details about the projects I currently play in can be found here. To get in touch with me, you can use the contact form at the contact page here or just call me. At this point I would like to thank Jasper Heijstek, who took the photos from my Bachelor recital which I use in the header. Come back soon for more news and details.
