Organ|Hayo BOEREMA
\n\nAward-winning and internationally acclaimed organist and composer, Hayo BOEREMA, from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, is the organist titular of the largest organ of The Netherlands: the Markussen organ of the St. Lawrence Church in Rotterdam.
\n\nAs a prolific performer, BOEREMA won various international organ contests in Europe during 1998-2005. In 2009, he was awarded the Silver Medal of the Academic Society for Education and Encouragement of the Arts and Sciences in Paris for his achievements as a performer of French organ music.
\n\nFostering the organ to be introduced and appreciated by a wider audience, is what inspires Hayo BOEREMA as organist, lecturer and composer. In his musical interpretations, BOEREMA is always motivated to look for contrast and color in compositions of both established and contemporary composers to involve a traditional classical music audience as well as a more experimentally curious audience. BOEREMA's repertoire stretches a long time period. It includes Jan Pieterszoon SWEELINCK and BACH as well as more contemporary composers, with a particular interest in Olivier MESSIAEN and French organ music from the 20th century.
\n\nAs a performer, BOEREMA often joins forces with choirs and orchestras. Additionally, he is regularly commissioned to compose. One of his major compositions, his Solemn Mass (Messe Solennelle), a composition for organ, choir, vocal soloist and percussion, was recorded recently and received with wide acclaim.
\n\nIn addition to his performances, BOEREMA is professor of organ at Codarts Conservatory at Rotterdam. He gives master classes in interpretation and improvisation internationally. Also, he is welcomed as a jury member at various international organ competitions.
