Homage to César Franck

César Franck is celebrating his 200th birthday this year. During this concert he is honored on two of the most beloved concert key instruments of Franck's time: the harmonium ('orgue expressif') and the organ.

Erik Jan Eradus and Dirk Luijmes, two of the most prominent harmonium players of our time, who are also top organists, pay tribute to these instruments and to the world-famous Belgian/French composer. This is a concert in collaboration with the Josephkerk.
