The organs, and staying in Haarlem.
The organs
Haarlem boasts three famous organs: the Müller organ in the Grote or St. Bavokerk, the Cavaillé-Coll organ in the Philharmonie, and the Adema organ in the Koepelkathedraal 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.
Stay in Haarlem
During your stay, you can enjoy not only everything the Organ Festival has to offer, but also everything Haarlem has to offer. Everything is within walking distance and easily accessible. Moreover, Amsterdam and the beach are only a 15-minute train ride away.
Guest addresses 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 for the International Summer Academy. 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 available 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. More information: 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!
