Pimp My Organ 4Ever!

Pimp My Organ 4Ever! presents brand-new compositions and arrangements by mostly young composers for the 31-tone organ, in which the Fokker organ is once again “pimped” and expanded through the latest computer-controlled techniques using laptops. The Carrillo piano (with 96 tones per octave!) will also be added to the instrument during the premiere of the long-awaited and greatly extended version of Lhorong, written by the renowned Dutch/Mexican composer Juan Felipe Waller. In addition to several new works by various composers, including the premiere of Manoeuvre by Brechtje van Dijk, there will be a special improvisation by composer Felipe Ignacio Noriega and pianist Anne Veinberg on the Fokker organ, as well as improvisations by Melle Weijters on the organ, controlled by a guitar. The concert concludes with a short and cunning little piece by Ben Wallet, specially arranged for this concert for the 31-tone organ.

NB. This is an additional concert in the Fokker organ concert series.
