THE ORGANS

Haarlem boasts three famous organs: the Müller organ in the Grote Bavo Church, the Cavaillé-Coll organ in the Philharmonie (formerly the Philharmonic), and the Adema organ in the Koepelkathedraal (Cathedral Cathedral) of Haarlem. You’ll be playing these organs during the summer academy. All participants, from teenagers to concert organists, are invited to explore the possibilities of these organs. This is one of the reasons why the Summer Academy of the International Organ Festival Haarlem is such a unique experience. Don’t miss out! Play these organs too! Book your summer course here.

GUEST ADRESSES WANTED!

From the United States to New Zealand, from Germany to Spain, and from Brazil to South Korea, organ students from all over the world are coming to the Netherlands. Their goal: to participate in the International Summer Academy of the Organ Festival, which will be held in the second half of July around the Bavo Church.

In and around Haarlem
We are looking for hosts for these international students. Do you live in Haarlem or just outside? Are you naturally hospitable, do you speak English, and do you have a room (or perhaps more than one room) available between July 13th and 28th where you would be happy to host one or more organists from abroad? And can you provide your guest(s) with a delicious breakfast every morning? Then please contact us.

Of course, you will receive compensation for this, and you may choose two free tickets to a Festival concert of your choice.

For more information, please contact office@organfestival.nl

P.S. Organists who use guest accommodations generally appreciate the personal contact. They spend most of the day at the lessons; they only rely on you for the overnight stay and breakfast!
