【2024 Weiwuying Organ Festival】A Fantasy of Dance
A Fantasy of Dance program will depart from the religious and solemn nature of stereotypical organ music and showcase the instrument's playful and fun side. The first part of the concert performed by Dutch organist Aart BERGWERFF will consist of dance music pieces performed on organ, including famous tango pieces composed by PIAZZOLLA, Tango, and a selection from The Firebird composed by STRAVINSKY, as well as Dutch composer Simeon ten HOLT's most popular work Canto Ostinato.
Although improvisation was once considered a requirement among concertists, it is a quality scarcely found in today's classical music that seeks to remain faithful to original compositions and give accurate performances. Thankfully, this practice can still be found in organ music, in which in addition to the spontaneous performances still given in church services, organs also played the indispensable role of musical accompaniment in the silent film era. Therefore in the second half of the concert, the Concert Hall will transform into a movie theater as organist Hayo BOEREMA of the St. Lawrence Church in Rotterdam takes the audience on a journey back to the beginning of the 20th century. With his improvised live performance accompanying the silent film, BOEREMA will guide the audience to feel the reality of the here and now and relive the glory of the silent era.

Artists Introduction
Organ｜Aart BERGWERFF
Aart BERGWERFF is a passionate and versatile musician. He loves exciting and adventurous programming. On the one hand, Aart has a passion for the classical repertoire and on the other, he likes to search for new ways and forms in organ culture. For example, he regularly collaborates with Dutch video artist Jaap DRUPSTEEN. With the Turkish Dervish dancer Kadir SONUK, he created the performance East meets West, set to music from Canto Ostinato by Simeon ten HOLT. Another example is the production Mi Corazón, in which organ and tango dance meet.
BERGWERFF has been organist of the Grote of Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe-Kerk in Breda since 2012. As a concert organist, he frequently performs at concerts and festivals at home and abroad.
As a teacher, BERGWERFF is connected to the Rotterdam Conservatory, part of Codarts,University for the Arts. There he has been professor for organ and arranging since 1994.
As organist, he is often a guest of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philharmonie Zuid-Nederland and the Bamberger Symphoniker.
BERGWERFF studied organ, choral conducting and church music at the Rotterdam Conservatory. At the Royal Conservatory, The Hague, he studied improvisation with Bert MATTER. He continued his organ studies in Paris with Marie-Claire ALAIN and in northern Germany with Harald VOGEL. He concluded his studies in Paris by obtaining the Prix de Virtuosité.
In 2003, he was awarded the silver medal of the Société Académique "Arts, Sciences et Lettres" for his achievements in French organ culture.
Organ｜Hayo BOEREMA
Award-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.
As 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.
Fostering 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.
As 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.
In 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.
