Welcome to the website of concert organist, pianist and teacher 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 of the wonderful organs at 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 Dutch tv show 'Podium Klassiek' of May 11 features a beautiful Bach-aria performed ​by Matthias with soprano Klaartje van Veldhoven, contralto David van Laar and bass player Yussif Barakat.
​
May 24 brings a Kampen organ tour around several churches as part of the Dudok Muziekdagen, and on the same evening soprano Klaartje van Veldhoven and Matthias will perform their program 'Himmelhoch jauchzend, zum Tode betrübt' in Noordwolde, with music by Buxtehude and Hendrik Andriessen's Miroir de Peine.
​
At the great Adema-organ of the Mozes & Aäronkerk, Amsterdam, Matthias will on June 15 play the complete Symphony nr. 3 by Louis Vierne, as well as the major part of Marcel Dupré op. 28 (15 verses founded on Vesper Antiphons) and an Invention by Benoit Mernier.
