<strong>Harry</strong> <strong>van</strong> <strong>Wijk</strong> (1971) is a versatile musician with passion. He is working as<br />
concert organist, church musician and choir director.<br />
He has played concerts in several countries in Europe and the USA. He likes<br />
characteristic concert programs, with the best music from the organ<br />
literature; but also film music with organ, synthesizer and percussion, or<br />
music with organ and narrator.<br />
<strong>Harry</strong> studied at the conservatorium with Kees <strong>van</strong> Houten and Theo Jellema.<br />
He also followed lessons in Belgium with Joris Verdin and in Germany with<br />
Wolfgang Zerer. The last years of his study he specialized in the French and<br />
German music from 1850 – 1950. After the conservatorium he followed<br />
lessons and masterclasses with Ludger Lohman, Leo <strong>van</strong> Doeselaar and Arno<br />
Krijger, with music from J.S. Bach, F. Mendelssohn Bartholdy and 20. century<br />
music.<br />
He won prizes with the International Organ competition in Nijmegen and with<br />
several competitions in Germany.<br />
A CD is published that <strong>Harry</strong> has recorded in Philadelphia (United States)<br />
including 'Die Moldau’ by B. Smetana. He plays this on a beautiful organ of the<br />
builder E. Skinner. These organs are specially designed for playing orchestral<br />
music.<br />
